Episode 8 - S4 - ISO 9001 What is the Internal Audit Process?

In this episode of The Quality Hub, Chatting with ISO Experts, host Xavier Francis is joined by Core Business Solutions consultant Yarelis Rios to explore the ISO 9001 internal audit process and its real purpose within a quality management system. Drawing on over two decades of experience in engineering and quality leadership, Yarelis explains how internal audits should go beyond simple compliance checks to evaluate process effectiveness, identify risks, and uncover opportunities for continual improvement. The discussion covers how auditors can shift from a “policing” mindset to a collaborative, value-adding approach, how leadership and risk-based thinking are evaluated, and the differences between nonconformities, opportunities for improvement, and observations. Listeners will gain practical insights on using internal audit results to strengthen decision-making, support management review, and drive long-term organizational performance.   Helpful Resources: How is ISO 9001 Implemented?:  https://www.thecoresolution.com/how-is-iso-9001-implemented For All Things ISO 9001:2015: https://www.thecoresolution.com/iso-9001-2015 Contact us at 866.354.0300 or email us at [email protected] A Plethora of Articles: https://www.thecoresolution.com/free-learning-resources ISO 9001 Consulting: https://www.thecoresolution.com/iso-consulting
