Hi Guys,
I am looking after the QA area of my branch (~30 people), and do 4 Internal Audits each month (each one looking at a different Process or Procedure), each Process or Procedure being audited once per year. I have someone else audit me on the Document Control, Management Review and Internal Audit processes, since I look after these and can't really audit myself.
It has been suggested to me that I shouldn't do two consecutive Internal Audits on the same Process/Procedure, and that we should have a group of auditors on rotation. Everyone else here (including me!) is very busy, and I doubt I'd get the buy-in to ask others to do regular audits.
Does anyone know if this is the case? I have looked through AS19011, but this mostly seems to refer to certification-type audits, and not the informal compliance audits that we conduct. We certainly don't have teams doing audits here, what we look at is too minor to require that.
Thanks in advance.
