Management of Internal Audit Programs
For some businesses, AFQA can coordinate and complete internal audits for the site. Each AFQA internal auditor that is used in this service has completed the necessary lead auditor training for this service.
AFQA have also developed specific checklists for various standards to ensure that we have covered off on all the elements and clauses of the nominated standard. Ie FSSC22000, BRC for Food, BRC for Packaging, SQF, CFMSR etc
Training
For some businesses, AFQA can coordinate internal food safety and quality program training. This training is non accredited, however it is a convenient and cost effective way to train and assess the majority of on site employees in their workplace.
