Process PerformanceMetrics

Business Operating System - Performance Status and Audit Summary …for input to the Annual Internal Audit Plan

Before you can develop and Internal Audit Plan, you must assess the performance of each Key Process, factoring in the occurrence of customer complaints, the results of audits, and any other crieteria deemed essental in helping you to rationalize and justify the frequency and scope of your internal audits.

Customer complaints CAR/PAR Distribution - Database Summary

CARs Issued PARs issued

"Status & Importance of the Process"

The performance of the process should be one of the criteria for determining the frequency and

scope of your audit

In example below, process performance status is rated and weighted, giving more importance to

customer-oriented processes and least to system-oriented processes (Lead Auditor needs to

rationalize importance ranking in their particular organization)

Customer Complaints? Increase Audit Frequency

Customer complaints or CARs filed against a process should be weighed into the formula for determining the frequency and scope of your audit

"The Results of Previous Internal/External Audits"

Analyse the results (CAR frequency, distribution, severity, etc.) of all the different audits conducted; internal, external, layered, limited scope, environmental, etc. and also any CARs/PARs issued as a result of the implementation of processes. Below, an increased weight is given to CARs identified at External Audits, since they have escaped the scrutiny of internal

auditors. Management should be involved in determining the "weight" factor of the various criteria for the purposes of establishing an "Audit Plan"

"...When internal / external non-conformities or customer complaints occur, the audit frequency shall be appropriately increased"
