About the ISO 19011 audit checklist

Internal audits protect your business and reveal how well your systems actually work. Using an ISO 19011 audit checklist gives you a consistent way to plan, execute, and follow up on audits across departments or teams.

This template helps you cover the six stages of the ISO 19011 process, from audit initiation to follow-up. It saves time, reduces missteps, and standardizes how you document and share findings.

Why you should use the ISO 19011 audit checklist

This ISO 19011 checklist gives you clarity throughout the whole audit process. Instead of rushing to figure out what comes next, you follow a proven framework that’s based on the standard itself. This way, you can lead smoother, more consistent audits across teams or departments.

You can use this template to assign responsibilities, document evidence, track corrective actions, and communicate findings—all without starting from scratch. A checklist also helps new team members quickly get up to speed, especially in fast-moving compliance environments.

By working with this audit checklist, you make the process less error-prone and create repeatable workflows that support continuous improvement. It’s a tool that helps you conduct audits better, every time.

A step-by-step guide to using the ISO 19011 audit checklist

The checklist is a tool for conducting consistent, end-to-end internal audits that follow international standards. It’s fully editable within the Lumiform app, so you can tailor it to your organization’s processes before assigning it:

  1. Customize the checklist to match your audit plan. Start by editing the sections to reflect your audit objectives, scope, and criteria. You can modify questions, add fields for evidence, or adapt terminology to fit your internal processes.
  2. Assign the checklist to the responsible auditor. Once the checklist is ready, assign it to a team member through the Lumiform app. The auditor can access the template directly from their mobile device and begin the audit on site.
  3. Work through each section during the audit. Follow the checklist step-by-step—initiation, planning, document review, execution, reporting, and follow-up. Use response types like text, photo, or multiple choice to document findings directly in the app.
  4. Flag issues and trigger corrective actions. If deviations or issues are identified, you can immediately assign action tasks from within the audit. This helps keep accountability clear and timelines tight.
  5. Review results and analyze data. After completion, results are synced and stored securely. Use Lumiform’s dashboard to track trends across multiple audits and identify recurring gaps in performance or compliance.

Conduct thorough, efficient audits with Lumiform’s tools

Download the template today to bring more structure, consistency, and accuracy to your audits. Assign it to your lead auditor, use it to guide on-site inspections, and capture observations with clarity. It’s built to keep your process focused and your findings easy to review, even when the audit covers multiple departments.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between ISO 19011 and ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 outlines what a quality management system should achieve, while ISO 19011 tells you how to audit it. Think of 9001 as the standard you’re trying to meet, and 19011 as your guidebook for checking if you’re actually meeting it. You need both to stay compliant.

Who should be part of an ISO 19011 audit team?

Choose people who know the process well but aren’t directly responsible for them. Auditors should be impartial, and they should be ideally from outside the department they’re auditing. If that’s not possible, rotate roles to reduce bias. Cross-training your team builds flexibility and keeps audits fair and insightful.

How can I prepare my team for an ISO 19011 audit?

Share the audit scope and criteria in advance. Give examples of what kinds of evidence they’ll need, such as logs, reports, or procedures. Encourage people to walk through their workflows ahead of time and flag anything unclear. You can also conduct quick pre-audit workshops, even for just 30 minutes.
