I would like to know the communities thoughts on this aspect of internal auditing.
From what I have been told by auditors across different auditing platforms is that an internal audit should be conducted by someone independent of the process being audited.
My question is...
If I start a new job that already has a QMS in place, is there a time frame in which I would be considered independent of the processes? Can I audit the QMS program, let's say within a month and be compliant with the independent piece? Since I have not created any of the SOPs or supporting documentation I would theoretically be able to audit the system, right?
The point of an internal audit in my opinion is to find and correct nonconformities within the QMS...I don't see an outside person being incredibly intimate and involved with a system I am in charge of everyday.
Thank you for your thoughts and feedback!
