Principles of

Internal Auditing

FOOD SAFETY TRAINING COURSE

Join our 2-hour class LIVE on Zoom to learn how to effectively plan, conduct, report, and follow up on internal audits!

An internal audit is a “proactive” tool for risk management, continuous improvement, and cost containment by identifying “potential problems” before they become a problem. The internal audit is key to assuring compliance with regulations and customer requirements, and helps protects consumers from food safety hazards. This comprehensive internal audit course equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills to effectively plan, conduct, report, and follow up on internal audits of food safety management systems (FSMS).

Aligned with international standards such as ISO 22000, ISO 19011, and GFSI-benchmarked schemes (BRCGS, SQF, FSSC 22000), the training emphasizes auditing principles for continuous improvement. Participants will have an understanding of how to assess the effectiveness of food safety programs—not just compliance—by objectively evaluating processes, facilities, environments, Good Manufacturing Practices/prerequisite programs, documentation, and operational controls.
