Keys to a successful internal audit

Article Abstract:

Internal auditing is one way of controlling quality. Some of the ways to successfully conduct the audit include planning, making a checklist and being objective. Auditors should also manage the time, interview and sample as well as pose good questions and make the interviewee as comfortable as possible to elicit all the right answers. They should also jot down all the important details, including negative and positive observations, and make sure to follow-up whatever needs to be done or corrected. Professionalism should also be practiced to expect positive results.
