Quality Assurance Team Holds Workshop for Internal Auditors
Workshop is 10th of its kind since start of project
The Quality Assurance Team, under TL Fahad Al-Sabah, recently held the
ISO 9001 Internal Audit Workshop for Cycle IV. This is the tenth workshop
of its kind to take place since the start of the project.
The workshop provides trained internal auditors with a refresher on how to
prepare and execute an audit, gives the experienced auditors an opportunity
to share their experiences and creates an opportunity for efficiently assigning
auditors to the upcoming audits.
There were 35 participants from all directorates who took part. With 39
internal audits scheduled between January 30th and February 20th, some
volunteered to conduct two audits.
TL (QA) Fahad Al-Sabah welcomed the auditors and upheld the importance
of their role. Internal audits are a vital component of ISO 9001 and without
them KOC would lose its certifications. GEC organized and ran the workshop
with coordination from Quality Assurance.
The Cycle V Internal Audit Training Course and Auditor Workshop is
planned for October.
