Determining scope of internal audit

Answer:

There is no specific requirement to audit entire scope of the standard and even entire organization in a one year period. However, it is recommendable to audit the system against all requirements of the standard during one year period since it is a natural time frame for every company. It is hard to find justification for auditing only part of the organization against part of the standard per year.

Quality policy should be reviewed during management review, but if the top management chooses not to make changes to the policy, it can be left as it is without changing dates or any other information.
