Re: Why internally audit ISO clauses for 9k2k? (Small company)
Good points.
We're real small 25 people (6 in the office) so it will take longer to lose control. But I probably could schedule ISO "checks" into the overall annual schedule that is seperate from department/function/process specific audits...

We never have audited our system v ISO itself after registration.
As other peole have done, we audited our performance (and compliance to our system).
However, as I read somewhere recently - things degrade with time.
Changes to your system should be approved as ISO compatible before implementation, but........
If your organisation is anything like mine, you have a 100 people running about like lunatics introducing new products, inhabiting new buildings, a constant turnover of staff;
Can you(we) be everywhere, everywhen?
After a few hiccups here I am starting to take the view that a complete system check TO ISO is not such a bad idea every now & then.
Once a year? How long will it take for a small company to do this. 1 day? 2?
How many embarrasing NC's during surveillance audits will it save?
