ISO 22000 Food Safety Audit Program

This web page will introduce our ISO 22000 2005 Internal Audit Program.
However, it will not present the complete audit program. Instead, it will
show you how our audit program is organized and it will explain how
it works. Once you've examined our approach, we hope you'll consider
purchasing our complete ISO 22000 2005 Internal Audit Program.

Our ISO 22000 Internal Audit Program (Title 57) is 131 pages
long and is available in both pdf and MS doc file formats.

Overview of ISO 22000 Compliance Audit Program

Our Compliance Audit Program uses questions to list the ISO 22000
environmental management system requirements. Like ISO’s five sets
of requirements, our Audit Program consists of five questionnaires:

General Audit Questionnaire
Management Audit Questionnaire
Resource Audit Questionnaire
Realization Audit Questionnaire
Confirmation Audit Questionnaire

Our audit starts with section 4 because ISO's requirements start there.

Two answers are possible for each question: YES or NO. YES answers
mean you’re in compliance with the standard and NO answers mean
you’re not in compliance. NO answers point to compliance problems
(also known as nonconformities or noncompliances).

Once you’ve answered all the ISO 22000 compliance audit questions,
you’re ready to summarize your audit, calculate compliance scores,
draw audit conclusions, and make and implement recommendations
to address your compliance problems.

Overview of ISO 22000 Policy Audit Program

Our ISO 22000 Policy Audit covers the following topics:

Management
Documentation
Usability
Training
Implementation
Changes

Start by selecting an ISO 22000 policy that you want to audit. Then
prepare your Policy Audit Profile. Before you begin answering audit
questions, please record the name of this policy at the top of the policy
audit questionnaire. This will help to maintain the focus of your audit.

Three response options are provided: YES, NO, and N/A. NO answers point
to policy performance problems, YES answers identify positive areas, while
N/A responses identify questions that are not applicable in your situation.

Once you’ve answered all the ISO 22000 policy audit questions, you’re
ready to summarize your internal audit, calculate policy performance
scores, draw general audit conclusions, and make and implement
recommendations to address your policy performance problems.

Overview of ISO 22000 Procedures Audit Program

Our ISO 22000 Procedures Audit covers the following topics:

Management
Documentation
Content
Compliance
Usability
Training
Control
Records
Changes

Start by selecting an ISO 22000 procedure that you want to audit.
Then prepare your Procedures Audit Profile. Define the scope of
your audit, identify the participants, and prepare a brief audit plan.

Before you begin answering procedures audit questions, please
record the name of this procedure at the top of the Audit questionnaire.
This will help auditors to maintain the focus of their procedures audit.

Three response options are provided: YES, NO, and N/A. NO answers point
to procedural performance problems, YES answers identify positive areas,
while N/A responses identify questions that are not applicable.

Once you’ve answered all the ISO 22000 procedures audit questions,
you’re ready to summarize your audit, calculate procedural performance
scores, draw general audit conclusions, and make and implement
recommendations to address procedural performance problems.

Overview of ISO 22000 Records Audit Program

Our Records Audit Program is partly based on the ISO 15489-1
records management standard and covers the following topics:

Management
Initiation
Recording
Revisions
Access
Maintenance
Retention
Destruction
Reporting
Usability
Authenticity
Protection
Continuity
Training
Auditing
Compliance

Start by selecting a set of ISO 22000 records. Our Audit Program can be
used to audit virtually any type of record keeping system. Once you’ve
chosen which records to audit, you’re ready to prepare your Records
Audit Profile. Specify the scope of your ISO 22000 records audit, its
location, the participants, and prepare a brief audit plan.

Before you begin answering record keeping audit questions, please enter
the name of the records being audited at the top of the audit questionnaire.
This will help to ensure that the focus of the internal audit is maintained.

Three response options are provided: YES, NO, and N/A. NO answers
point to record keeping performance problems, YES answers identify
positive areas, while N/A responses identify questions that are not
applicable in your situation.

Once you’ve answered all the ISO 22000 records audit questions,
you’re ready to summarize your audit, calculate record keeping
performance scores, draw general audit conclusions, and make
and implement recommendations to address your record
keeping performance problems.

The following example will show you what our
ISO 22000 2005 Internal Audit Program looks like.
