Process Driven Comprehensive Auditing was written for the novice internal auditor to provide an easy to understand method for conducting a highly effective audit. By combining a series of general questions drawn from many elements of the ISO 9001:2000 Standard with a cross reference guide to particular elements such as Purchasing, Design, Production Control and Calibration, the methods presented in this book offer a practical and uncomplicated starting point for any first time auditor.

Process Driven Comprehensive Auditing takes a new approach that affirms an auditor’s willingness to learn and contribute to their company by simplifying a complex series of actions; it does this through examination and guided application of Shewhart and Deming’s PDCA Cycle.

Also included is a CD-ROM with the PDCA Audit Master template.
