Hullo, Liz,

What I mean by the "redundant" comment is all of the questions for one section are asked over just using different wording.
I agree, that would make them pretty redundant. For one thing, the general idea is to create a new checklist (new questions, tailored to suit the scope of the audit) for every audit, as opposed to reusing previous stuff. Would it be possible to provide us with a sample checklist just to get the feel of what you are currently using?
Secondly: When you say "section", are you referring to part of the std or a department? In both cases you run the risk of auditing just part of a process:
A process often spans across several departments/sections or whatever, and auditing a dep. is likley to cover but part of a number of processes (and the interfacing between differen departments is exactly where problems are often abound).
The same goes for auditing just part of the std. You run a great risk of not seeing the whole picture.

I am looking to understand what the standard means and how to write the Internal Audit questions.
We are of course willing to help, but I also strongly suggest some training. How about the training company you mentioned?
