MS ISO 9001:2000 Compliance Audit
February 13th, 2007Our department is currently on its 2nd day of compliance audit, conducted by 2 gentlemen from SIRIM, En Rahim and YM Tengku Aidil.
I as Lead Internal Auditor was audited this morning for 90 minutes. I like to see things in a positive light, so I would describe my audit session simply as a great learning experience.
Our internal auditing team, comprising of 13 people are allowed, even encouraged to observe how these experienced external auditors do their work. Myself and 2 other colleagues followed them in most of the audit sessions involving several divisions and 2 KSITs.
Tomorrow, the last day, will be D-Day: we will know whether we’re getting the certification or not.
Even if we do get it, celebration time is only temporary for they’re going to come back within one year to do surveillance audit. Later, in 2009, they’ll come back again for reassessment.
