CQI publishes its interpretation of ISO 19011:2018
The CQI is delighted to present its latest report on ISO 19011: 2018 – Guidelines for auditing management systems.
In July, the International Standards Organization published its latest version of ISO 19011. ISO 19011:2018 sets out guidance on all aspects of management systems audit including the principles of audit, managing an audit programme, conducting management system audits, and guidance on evaluating the competence of those involved in the audit process.
The revisions to the standard are significant and include an enhanced focus on risk-based auditing, which is included as a new principle of auditing as proposed by the CQI.
It is invaluable CPD for all CQI members and IRCA auditors
The CQI’s report, ISO 19011: 2018 – Understanding the International Standard, provides a plain-English interpretation of the standard, describes the revisions included in this latest edition, and discusses the implications for all those involved in the management systems audit process.
This report is essential reading for anyone involved or affected by the audit of management systems in any discipline, not just quality. It is invaluable CPD for all CQI members and IRCA auditors, their colleagues and business leaders.
By reading the report, quality professionals will be in the best position to support organisations through robust, best practice audit planning delivery and reporting.
