Description |
For the past few months, a group representing Orange, O2, Vodafone, Kingston Communications, Siemens Business Services, Pitney Bowes (and more recently BSI) have been cooperating by sharing information and ideas about better ways of carrying out internal auditing - specifically in ISO 9001-certified situations. What these companies have in common is a belief that the ways in which internal auditing is conventionally carried out is of limited value. They have investigated - and are at various stages of implementing - a variety of alternative approaches.These approaches are of more practical use to their businesses - and they still meet the relevant requirements of ISO 9001:2000 so that certification is unaffected. This event will include an update on the group's findings, which include a set of guiding principles for others who wish to consider similar improvements. There will also be presentations of the the specific alternatives to conventional auditing that a number of companies have put in place. The major part of the day will be occupied by wide-ranging discussions (with the agenda being set by the participants) on improving the effectiveness of internal auditing. |
