Hello, one and all,
I have a question about auditing (ISO and QS9000) that I so far haven't been able to get a good answer to, so I'm hoping one of you'se folks in the auditing field can help me out.
Why is it that a small company (we have a total of 18 people, including management) needs to perform its own internal quality system audit, when we've already hired a registrar to come in and do the same thing?
Since registering to ISO & QS9000 is in internal business decision, with the audit hired, paid for, and reported to top management, it seems to me that the registrar's work already qualifies as an internal audit. Why do it again? More work for auditors?
Many thanks,
W. Kindel
