Hello all,
I am new to SQF and am in the process of completing an initial certification. Long story, but because of timing, we missed the window on recertification and had to start over. In preparing for the desk audit, I reviewed and updated the whole system as it hadn't been updated since 2016. This included changing the internal audit schedule, policy, and checklists used. The previous SQF practitioner had been keeping up with internal audits up until she left earlier this year. Now that I have taken over and am using different checklists on a different schedule, can I follow my schedule from when I took on the role or do I have to review the entire system before the site audit now that I've updated it all? If I do review the entire system in the next 30 days, what will I have to do to maintain the internal audit system for the rest of the year? It doesn't make sense to me to audit them all now when I obviously just looked over the documents to update them and seems like it would be more beneficial to audit them when they come up in the annual schedule.
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
