Why Is It Important?
Audits play a critical role in certifying that your business abides by proper practices at all times. They are a crucial component in maintaining standards and certification. Inspections provide transparency and assurance that standards are maintained.
If your business has regular BRC or customer audits, it makes sense to be proactive and regularly conduct internal inspections ahead of official external visits.
Regular internal audits allow you to identify areas of concern and rectify them before any external reviews take place.
In addition, they help to ensure that all paperwork relating to HACCP and other standard operating procedures are present and up-to-date. Audits can help confirm that employees are competent and fully trained.
