About This Free Webinar

Audit readiness should not begin a few weeks before the auditor arrives. High-performing facilities build systems that continuously identify risks, address problems and maintain readiness throughout the year. This final Fix It Fridays session brings the series together and focuses on creating sustainable food safety performance.

Live on Friday, November 12, 2027.

Friday, November 12, 2027, 12:00–1:00 PM CT, live online. Registration is free. Reserve your spot.

Key Topics Covered

What this 60-minute session covers.

  • Building a Year-Round Audit Readiness Strategy

    Replacing the pre-audit scramble with a plan that runs all year.

  • Using Internal Audits to Identify Risks Before the Auditor Does

    Scheduling and scoping internal audits around risk.

  • Monitoring Food Safety KPIs and Trends

    Choosing measures that show how the system is really performing.

  • Strengthening CAPA and Corrective Action Effectiveness

    Making sure findings stay closed.

  • Management Review and Leadership Accountability

    Giving leaders the information, and the ownership, to act.

  • Connecting Food Safety Performance Across Departments

    Sharing responsibility across QA, operations, maintenance and sanitation.

  • Identifying Recurring and Systemic Issues

    Seeing the patterns behind repeat problems.

  • Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement

    Building habits that keep the system improving between audits.

  • Moving from “Audit Preparation” to Continuous Audit Readiness

    What changes when readiness is part of normal operations.

Audit Preparation vs. Year-Round Readiness

Many certification schemes include unannounced audits, so readiness that depends on a scheduled date is a risk in itself.

  • Event-driven

    Audit Preparation

    A burst of activity in the weeks before the audit: records are completed, the plant is deep-cleaned and procedures are reviewed. Conditions often slip again afterward, which is how findings repeat.

  • Built into the system

    Year-Round Readiness

    The system produces audit-ready conditions as part of normal work: internal audits on a risk-based schedule, KPIs and trends reviewed regularly, corrective actions verified, and leaders reviewing performance and acting on it.

Who Should Attend?

Anyone responsible for facility audit readiness, including:

  • Food Safety & Quality Professionals

  • QA/QC Managers and Directors

  • Food Safety Managers

  • Plant Managers

  • Operations Managers

  • Corporate Quality Professionals

  • Internal Auditors

  • Senior Management
