Reserve Your SpotInternal audits are designed to identify problems before an auditor does, but many programs focus too heavily on checklists, documentation and easy-to-find issues. This session explores why internal audits can miss significant food safety risks and how to make your audit program more effective.

Part of Fix It Fridays, Kiwa ASI's free 2027 webinar series: solving the Most Common Food Safety Audit Findings.
Not another standards-reading webinar: one real-world problem, why it happens and what to do differently.
Every Fix It Fridays webinar is free.
What this 60-minute session covers.
Why a clause-by-clause checklist confirms paperwork exists but can miss how the system really works.
Spotting the patterns that connect individual findings to a weakness in the system.
Following a process end to end and spending audit time where the food safety risk is highest.
Open questions and floor conversations that show what people actually do, not just what the procedure says.
Where routine audits tend to have blind spots, and how to look there.
Writing findings that lead to real corrective action instead of a quick fix.
Building internal auditor skills, and keeping auditors independent of the work they audit.
Both have a place. The difference is what each one can find.
Works through the standard clause by clause and confirms that each required document or record exists. It's quick and repeatable, but it mostly tests paperwork, so a well-documented program can look compliant while practices on the floor drift.
Follows a process, such as receiving through shipping, and checks records against what is actually happening: observing tasks, talking with the people doing them and tracing a lot or a shift through the system. Audit time goes where the food safety risk is highest.
Use the checklist to make sure nothing is skipped, then spend most of the audit on risk: high-risk processes, recent changes, repeat findings and areas with complaints or unusual results.
Anyone responsible for maintaining audit readiness, including:
Six free, live online webinars in 2027, each tackling one common food safety problem: why it happens and what to do differently. See all free webinars.
Move beyond checklists to risk-based, process-focused internal audits.
Find the real root cause and stop repeat findings.
Control the food safety risks that maintenance work introduces.
Turn environmental monitoring data into contamination prevention.
Strengthen cleaning, verification and continuous improvement.
Bring it all together: continuous audit readiness, all year.

Key topics include:

Common reasons include audits that only check whether documents exist, the same checklist and auditor every time, too little time on the production floor, auditors reviewing their own work, and findings closed with a quick correction instead of a root cause. This session looks at why it happens and what to do differently.
An audit that follows a process from start to finish, for example receiving through storage, production and shipping, and checks whether controls work in practice by observing tasks, talking with employees and comparing records with what is actually happening. See checklist vs. risk-based audits.
