Hi All,
I hope you all are doing great. I am currently working as a QA Manager at small scale ready to eat meat manufacturing facility in Ontario Canada. Our facility is BRCGS certified facility. Currently, I am working on risk based BRC Internal audit schedule. I Considered pervious external audit non conformances and customer complaints in the internal audit risk assessment. Now there are almost 6-8 BRC clauses where the internal audit frequency set at 4 times a year, some of them are 2 times a year based on risk.
We do have external auditor coming every year who performs internal audit covering all the clauses per year.
My question is: If I have revised and updated all the policies and procedures which are refereeing and complying all BRC standard clauses, then am I still eligible to to perform internal audit myself on those clauses for which the frequency set at 4 times / 2 times a year the internal audit schedule ? I do have the past internal auditing experience in SQF.
