About this toolkit

Your internal audit should produce findings someone can act on, not a filled-in checklist.

This toolkit is written from ISO 14001 Lead Auditor practice. It walks through setting criteria, designing a programme, planning each audit, following the process on site, sampling with a stated purpose, evaluating evidence and writing findings that hold up. The Excel workbook keeps programme, criteria, evidence and findings linked, and the dashboard shows what is really complete.

What's inside

  • Guide (PDF, 16 pages): criteria, programme, audit plan, on-site process, sampling, evidence, findings, reporting, follow-up.
  • Excel toolkit: blank working copy with sheets for Dashboard, Programme, Criteria, Evidence, Findings. Fixed review date, drop-downs and a native-chart dashboard. No macros.
  • Worked example (Excel): the same workbook filled with fictional records, so you can see every queue and chart in use.
  • Worked case (PDF): a two-page case that walks through the example and has you reconcile the dashboard.
  • 5 editable Word forms: Audit programme and independence; individual audit plan; criteria and evidence working paper; finding and closure review; issued audit report and management summary.
  • Data setup and migration guide (PDF), 4 blank and fictional CSV layouts and a field dictionary for importing your own records.
  • Glossary and verification record (PDF): every external source with the edition checked and its status, plus recomputed worked calculations.

Who it's for

EHS, quality and sustainability managers, internal auditors and management-system coordinators at manufacturing sites running ISO 14001 internal audits.

FAQ

Which software do I need?

Desktop Microsoft Excel for the workbooks (tested in Microsoft 365 on Windows; no macros), a PDF reader and Word or a compatible editor for the forms. Other spreadsheet programs may not support every formula, chart or drop-down.

Can my whole team use it?

Yes. One purchase covers one organisation, all its sites and staff, with no expiry. You can edit the files and share your completed records, but not resell or redistribute the blank toolkit. Full terms are on the licence page.

Is the worked example real company data?

No. The worked example and worked case use a fictional manufacturer and fictional data so you can see every queue and chart in use. Do not copy their figures into your own records.
