Internal audits
We perform internal audits to verify whether your management system is implemented, maintained and effective. The audit identifies gaps, process weaknesses, nonconformities, risks and improvement opportunities before certification or surveillance audits.
Supplier audits
We conduct supplier, contractor and partner audits to evaluate external providers against contractual, regulatory, quality, environmental, safety, information security or industry-specific requirements.
Certification audit
We prepare organizations for certification, surveillance and recertification audits performed by accredited certification bodies, supporting audit readiness, documentation review, corrective actions and management review preparation.
What we audit
Our auditors assess leadership commitment, process performance, risk controls, objectives, documented information, operational controls, supplier management, competence, monitoring, internal audit effectiveness, management review and corrective action management.
Every audit is aligned with the applicable ISO standard, organizational context, process maturity and certification expectations.
Audit deliverables
You receive a structured audit report with evidence-based findings, nonconformities, observations, improvement opportunities and prioritized recommendations. Where required, we support root cause analysis and corrective action planning.
The result is a clear, actionable path toward stronger compliance, better evidence and improved management system performance.

ISO audit questions
Clear answers for organizations preparing for internal audits, supplier audits, certification audits and management system evaluations.
What is the purpose of an ISO internal audit?
Internal audits evaluate whether management system processes, controls and documented information comply with ISO requirements and organizational procedures. They identify weaknesses, nonconformities and improvement opportunities before certification or surveillance audits.
What is the difference between internal, second party and third party audits?
Internal audits are performed by or on behalf of the organization. Second party audits evaluate suppliers, contractors or external providers. Third party audits are conducted by accredited certification bodies to assess conformity with ISO standards.
How often should ISO audits be performed?
Audit frequency depends on organizational risks, process performance, regulatory requirements and certification expectations. Most organizations implement annual audit programmes covering all management system processes.
Do you support certification and surveillance audits?
Yes. QMS International supports organizations before certification, surveillance and recertification audits by reviewing audit evidence, evaluating documented information, assessing corrective actions and verifying audit readiness.
What happens if an audit identifies nonconformities?
Audit findings are analysed to determine root causes, corrective actions and implementation priorities. Effective corrective action management helps organizations address compliance gaps and strengthen management system performance.
