Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following
URL: www .iso .org/iso/foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Project Committee ISO/PC 302, Guidelines for auditing management
systems.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 19011:2011), which has been technically
revised.
The main differences compared to the second edition are as follows:
— addition of the risk-based approach to the principles of auditing;
— expansion of the guidance on managing an audit programme, including audit programme risk;
— expansion of the guidance on conducting an audit, particularly the section on audit planning;
— expansion of the generic competence requirements for auditors;
— adjustment of terminology to reflect the process and not the object (“thing”);
— removal of the annex containing competence requirements for auditing specific management
system disciplines (due to the large number of individual management system standards, it would
not be practical to include competence requirements for all disciplines);
— expansion of Annex A to provide guidance on auditing (new) concepts such as organization context,
leadership and commitment, virtual audits, compliance and supply chain.
ISO 19011:2018(E)
Introduction
Since the second edition of this document was published in 2011, a number of new management system
standards have been published, many of which have a common structure, identical core requirements
and common terms and core definitions. As a result, there is a need to consider a broader approach
to management system auditing, as well as providing guidance that is more generic. Audit results can
provide input to the analysis aspect of business planning, and can contribute to the identification of
improvement needs and activities.
An audit can be conducted against a range of audit criteria, separately or in combination, including but
not limited to:
— requirements defined in one or more management system standards;
— policies and requirements specified by relevant interested parties;
— statutory and regulatory requirements;
— one or more management system processes defined by the organization or other parties;
— management system plan(s) relating to the provision of specific outputs of a management system
(e.g. quality plan, project plan).
This document provides guidance for all sizes and types of organizations and audits of varying scopes
and scales, including those conducted by large audit teams, typically of larger organizations, and
those by single auditors, whether in large or small organizations. This guidance should be adapted as
appropriate to the scope, complexity and scale of the audit programme.
This document concentrates on internal audits (first party) and audits conducted by organizations
on their external providers and other external interested parties (second party). This document can
also be useful for external audits conducted for purposes other than third party management system
certification. ISO/IEC 17021-1 provides requirements for auditing management systems for third party
certification; this document can provide useful additional guidance (see Table 1).

To simplify the readability of this document, the singular form of “management system” is preferred,
but the reader can adapt the implementation of the guidance to their own situation. This also applies to
the use of “individual” and “individuals”, “auditor” and “auditors”.
This document is intended to apply to a broad range of potential users, including auditors, organizations
implementing management systems and organizations needing to conduct management system audits
for contractual or regulatory reasons. Users of this document can, however, apply this guidance in
developing their own audit-related requirements.
The guidance in this document can also be used for the purpose of self-declaration and can be useful to
organizations involved in auditor training or personnel certification.
The guidance in this document is intended to be flexible. As indicated at various points in the text,
the use of this guidance can differ depending on the size and level of maturity of an organization’s
management system. The nature and complexity of the organization to be audited, as well as the
objectives and scope of the audits to be conducted, should also be considered.

ISO 19011:2018(E)
This document adopts the combined audit approach when two or more management systems of different
disciplines are audited together. Where these systems are integrated into a single management system,
the principles and processes of auditing are the same as for a combined audit (sometimes known as an
integrated audit).
This document provides guidance on the management of an audit programme, on the planning and
conducting of management system audits, as well as on the competence and evaluation of an auditor
and an audit team.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 19011:2018(E)
Guidelines for auditing management systems
1 Scope

4 Principles of auditing
Auditing is characterized by reliance on a number of principles. These principles should help to make
the audit an effective and reliable tool in support of management policies and controls, by providing
information on which an organization can act in order to improve its performance. Adherence to these
principles is a prerequisite for providing audit conclusions that are relevant and sufficient, and for
enabling auditors, working independently from one another, to reach similar conclusions in similar
circumstances.
The guidance given in Clauses 5 to 7 is based on the seven principles outlined below.
a) Integrity: the foundation of professionalism
Auditors and the individual(s) managing an audit programme should:
— perform their work ethically, with honesty and responsibility;
— only undertake audit activities if competent to do so;
— perform their work in an impartial manner, i.e. remain fair and unbiased in all their dealings;
— be sensitive to any influences that may be exerted on their judgement while carrying out an audit.
b) Fair presentation: the obligation to report truthfully and accurately
Audit findings, audit conclusions and audit reports should reflect truthfully and accurately the
audit activities. Significant obstacles encountered during the audit and unresolved diverging
ISO 19011:2018(E)
opinions between the audit team and the auditee should be reported. The communication should
be truthful, accurate, objective, timely, clear and complete.
c) Due professional care: the application of diligence and judgement in auditing
Auditors should exercise due care in accordance with the importance of the task they perform
and the confidence placed in them by the audit client and other interested parties. An important
factor in carrying out their work with due professional care is having the ability to make reasoned
judgements in all audit situations.
d) Confidentiality: security of information
Auditors should exercise discretion in the use and protection of information acquired in the course
of their duties. Audit information should not be used inappropriately for personal gain by the
auditor or the audit client, or in a manner detrimental to the legitimate interests of the auditee.
This concept includes the proper handling of sensitive or confidential information.
e) Independence: the basis for the impartiality of the audit and objectivity of the audit conclusions
Auditors should be independent of the activity being audited wherever practicable, and should in
all cases act in a manner that is free from bias and conflict of interest. For internal audits, auditors
should be independent from the function being audited if practicable. Auditors should maintain
objectivity throughout the audit process to ensure that the audit findings and conclusions are
based only on the audit evidence.
For small organizations, it may not be possible for internal auditors to be fully independent of the
activity being audited, but every effort should be made to remove bias and encourage objectivity.
f) Evidence-based approach: the rational method for reaching reliable and reproducible audit
conclusions in a systematic audit process
Audit evidence should be verifiable. It should in general be based on samples of the information
available, since an audit is conducted during a finite period of time and with finite resources. An
appropriate use of sampling should be applied, since this is closely related to the confidence that
can be placed in the audit conclusions.
g) Risk-based approach: an audit approach that considers risks and opportunities
The risk-based approach should substantively influence the planning, conducting and reporting of
audits in order to ensure that audits are focused on matters that are significant for the audit client,
and for achieving the audit programme objectives.
5 Managing an audit programme
5.1 General
An audit programme should be established which can include audits addressing one or more
management system standards or other requirements, conducted either separately or in combination
(combined audit).
The extent of an audit programme should be based on the size and nature of the auditee, as well as on
the nature, functionality, complexity, the type of risks and opportunities, and the level of maturity of
the management system(s) to be audited.
The functionality of the management system can be even more complex when most of the important
functions are outsourced and managed under the leadership of other organizations. Particular
attention needs to be paid to where the most important decisions are made and what constitutes the
top management of the management system.
6 © ISO 2018 – All rights reserved

ISO 19011:2018(E)
In the case of multiple locations/sites (e.g. different countries), or where important functions are
outsourced and managed under the leadership of another organization, particular attention should be
paid to the design, planning and validation of the audit programme.
In the case of smaller or less complex organizations the audit programme can be scaled appropriately.
In order to understand the context of the auditee, the audit programme should take into account the
auditee’s:
— organizational objectives;
— relevant external and internal issues;
— the needs and expectations of relevant interested parties;
— information security and confidentiality requirements.
The planning of internal audit programmes and, in some cases programmes for auditing external
providers, can be arranged to contribute to other objectives of the organization.
The individual(s) managing the audit programme should ensure the integrity of the audit is maintained
and that there is not undue influence exerted over the audit.
Audit priority should be given to allocating resources and methods to matters in a management system
with higher inherent risk and lower level of performance.
Competent individuals should be assigned to manage the audit programme.
The audit programme should include information and identify resources to enable the audits to be
conducted effectively and efficiently within the specified time frames. The information should include:
a) objectives for the audit programme;
b) risks and opportunities associated with the audit programme (see 5.3) and the actions to
address them;
c) scope (extent, boundaries, locations) of each audit within the audit programme;
d) schedule (number/duration/frequency) of the audits;
e) audit types, such as internal or external;
f) audit criteria;
g) audit methods to be employed;
h) criteria for selecting audit team members;
i) relevant documented information.
Some of this information may not be available until more detailed audit planning is complete.
The implementation of the audit programme should be monitored and measured on an ongoing basis
(see 5.6) to ensure its objectives have been achieved. The audit programme should be reviewed in order
to identify needs for changes and possible opportunities for improvements (see 5.7).

ISO 19011:2018(E)
5.2 Establishing audit programme objectives
The audit client should ensure that the audit programme objectives are established to direct the
planning and conducting of audits and should ensure the audit programme is implemented effectively.
Audit programme objectives should be consistent with the audit client’s strategic direction and support
management system policy and objectives.
These objectives can be based on consideration of the following:
a) needs and expectations of relevant interested parties, both external and internal;
b) characteristics of and requirements for processes, products, services and projects, and any changes
to them;
c) management system requirements;
d) need for evaluation of external providers;
e) auditee’s level of performance and level of maturity of the management system(s), as reflected
in relevant performance indicators (e.g. KPIs), the occurrence of nonconformities or incidents or
complaints from interested parties;
f) identified risks and opportunities to the auditee;
g) results of previous audits.
Examples of audit programme objectives can include the following:
— identify opportunities for the improvement of a management system and its performance;
— evaluate the capability of the auditee to determine its context;
— evaluate the capability of the auditee to determine risks and opportunities and to identify and
implement effective actions to address them;
— conform to all relevant requirements, e.g. statutory and regulatory requirements, compliance
commitments, requirements for certification to a management system standard;
— obtain and maintain confidence in the capability of an external provider;
