Looking for an Internal Audit Checklist covering BRC Requirements
Also, we need to be 'certified internal auditors'. Suggestions on where to go for something inexpensive?
Thanks!
I am a consulant and can tell you that, whenever we audit, we take the standard as it is and use it as a checklist; with ISO, YOU have to construct a checklist. Think this is ok
If you look around this forum, you will see that the term "internal audit" has a variety of interpretations.
The simplest is where only a desk-audit is carried out on documentation. Some people seem to "get away" with this.
The most global one (really a system audit IMO) is simply a condensed checklist covering the whole standard as per previous post in this thread.
Perhaps more typically, one does a trial walk/run of one's actual process / documentation etc and simply looks for deficiencies as compared to the full standard.

There are examples of individual audit/scheduling forms on this forum if you look around a bit (can't remember where, sorry). If you want to see some typical ISO internal audit examples, try googling "ISO9001 internal audit form".

The BRC global Standards website has a self assesment tool which can be used as a checklist. You can get this on the following link

All the best
We are a VERY small, family owned, manufacturing facility that just finished our pre-audit. We are having an issue coming up with a good Internal Audit tempate that covers everything the BRC is looking for. Would anyone be willing to offer some advice?
