Mastering the ISO 19011 audit: techniques and practices – #311
Context
- Every organisation needs to plan, carry out internal and external management system audits or other types of audits to check practices and improve. However, auditing cannot be improvised, and beyond simply checking compliance, the audit must add real value to the organisation.
- The audit manager, auditors and audit teams must follow good practice in preparing, auditing, reporting and formalising an audit report.
- Clients or management systems require that audits be conducted in accordance with the guidelines of ISO19011:2018.
- It is also necessary to assess the competence of the people involved in the audit process.
Objectives
Be able to audit a management system effectively according to ISO 19011:
- Understand the auditor’s mission
- Prepare and conduct an audit
- To behave as an auditor (behavioural skills)
- Having the right questioning
- Integrating communication techniques useful in an audit
- Concluding the audit and structuring the audit report
- Knowing how to define what to do in a face-to-face or remote audit
- Adding value to the company through the results of audits
Recommanded for
- Anyone wishing to become an internal quality auditor.

Prerequisites
No prerequisites.
Pedagogy
- Work in sub-groups and reporting exercises in order to involve each participant and thus develop the capacity for synthesis and oral expression, which are essential in auditing.
- Practical exercises to construct an audit questionnaire that encourages the search for evidence of efficiency and continuous improvement of processes.
- During the training, participants benefit from the advice of the trainer, himself an experienced auditor.
- In an in-company setting, this auditor training course provides for application in the field. The participants test their audit technique on a real case. In this case, it is necessary to define an audit subject before the training, which will be the subject of a half-day preparation.
