Internal audits

[Randy]

For 27001 only please.

Do internal auditors need to have formal accredited training?

Are internal auditors restricted from auditing their own work?

 

[Miner]

Clause 9.2.2 states: b) select auditors and conduct audits that ensure objectivity and the impartiality of the audit process;

It looks like a lot of consultants are interpreting that to mean they must be independent, but it does not actually say that. I'm sure some external auditors would get heartburn if the auditor was not independent and ask how you would ensure objectivity and impartiality.

Nothing about formal accredited training.
