BRC Best Practice Guideline: Internal Audit - Issue 2

The BRC has produced a series of best practice guidelines aimed at manufacturing and storage businesses to provide practical advice on developing systems to fulfil obligations with regard to legal compliance, safety and quality criteria.

A comprehensive internal audit system is fundamental to a company’s safety and quality system as it provides confirmation that systems and procedures are operating effectively and identifies areas that require improvement.

 
Key features of the guideline include:

• Planning an audit schedule

• Defining the requirements for staff undertaking internal audits

• Defining aspects necessary to conduct an audit

• Recording audits correctly

• Guidance on corrective action to be undertaken

• Identifying opportunities for continual improvement

The BRC Guidelines cover subject areas including: Complaint Handling, Internal Audit, Pest Control, Product Recall, and Traceability.
