How much do you rely on the use of checklists for your Internal Audits.

Don't know how you'd do an internal audit without one to be honest.... they provide the template against which you compare what is actually happening with what you SAY id happening. :rock:

Check lists should be used only as memory aides , to keep us on track of Audit and should be flexible to allow changes resulting from information collected during audits and should not be used as tick-lists or questionnaire.Objective evidence should be collected by obervations,interviews and documents reviews.Sampling should be done on processes which influence and determines food safety like food safety hazards,prpr,oprp and ccps.what it does when things go wrong,control measures,and how they are monitored and there records of evidence,and evidence of continual improvements,valdations,verifications and management reviews etc.
