Outsourcing
Why outsource internal audits instead of training our own people?
It depends on how often you audit and how independent your auditors can be. Many clients do both: outsource now, train over time.
A small team rarely has someone who can audit their own department objectively, and a part-time internal auditor’s findings often stay at the symptom level. Outsourcing gives you senior, independent auditors now. Training builds the skill in house for the long term.
Outsourcing fits best when
- Certification or surveillance is less than 6 months away
- The same findings keep coming back
- Nobody internal is independent of the processes being audited
- Your team cannot spare audit days this year
