1. Due to the size of the facility, can all internal audits be conducted on the same day or do they need to be spread across the year?
2. Can I use the SQF checklist as my audit record? I noticed another poster and commented about removing the areas that aren't mandatory and adding space to put comments. Just confirming this is an acceptable way to conduct the audits.
--------------------------------
1. The only time I have ever seen a company do all their internal audits in one day was once when a company was coming up on their second audit and they had not done any internal audits (documentation and physical plant) all year long since their first audit, plus are you willing wait an entire year to pinpoint issues - you'll find it much more to your advantage to do them over the course of the year than in 1 shot.
2. We've used the checklist as a basis for creating the 20 separate types of internals that we do - so it is a good foundation.
