Title
Write an SOP for Internal Audit
Why
Every year, for every audit, the same procedure needs to be followed to ensure that audits are performed correctly and in compliance with ISO 15189.
What
Write an SOP for Internal Audit. The complete audit system has been set up in phase 3 in the previous activities. Document all these procedures in an SOP, from making the audit plan, preparing the audit, conducting the audit, drafting the audit report to development of the action plan to solve nonconformities identified and monitoring the implementation of the action plan.
