Improving the Internal Auditing Procedure by Using SIPOC Diagrams

Abstract

Auditing is intended to provide a better understanding of a system and to provide insights on the possibilities for improvement. The University of Ruse has implemented a management system in compliance with ISO 9001 since 2004. Thus, for more than a dozen of years it has experience in auditing its management system – both by internal and external audits. In 2017 ISO has published the draft standard ISO / DIS 21001 that defines the requirements for a quality management system of any type of educational organization. This article presents a proposal for improvement of the current internal auditing procedure.
