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.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
