Quality Assurance Team Holds Workshop for Internal Auditors<br />

Workshop is 10th of its kind since start of project<br />

The Quality Assurance Team, under TL Fahad Al-Sabah, recently held the<br />

ISO 9001 Internal Audit Workshop for Cycle IV. This is the tenth workshop<br />

of its kind to take place since the start of the project.<br />

The workshop provides trained internal auditors with a refresher on how to<br />

prepare and execute an audit, gives the experienced auditors an opportunity<br />

to share their experiences and creates an opportunity for efficiently assigning<br />

auditors to the upcoming audits.<br />

There were 35 participants from all directorates who took part. With 39<br />

internal audits scheduled between January 30th and February 20th, some<br />

volunteered to conduct two audits.<br />

TL (QA) Fahad Al-Sabah welcomed the auditors and upheld the importance<br />

of their role. Internal audits are a vital component of ISO 9001 and without<br />

them KOC would lose its certifications. GEC organized and ran the workshop<br />

with coordination from Quality Assurance.<br />

The Cycle V Internal Audit Training Course and Auditor Workshop is<br />

planned for October.<br />
