Some companies are using outside consultants to conduct internal audit (IA) of all the AS requirements, including internal audit. Is it a violation of 8.2.2.b if the consultant audits (IA)? Should someone else from the company audit IA?
8.2.2.b The selection of auditors and conduct of audits shall ensure objectivity and impartiality of the audit process. Auditors shall not audit their own work.
I audited a small company of 4 employees. They hired a consultant to conduct IA of all the AS requirements. The QA Manager was the process owner of the internal audit. He was the only one trained on AS9100C, including internal audit. He setup the internal audit process. I don't believe he can audit IA either. Should I issue a minor NCR because the consultant audited IA?
