Auditing without documented audit procedure

How is internal audit is listed in the mandatory documents as well as non mandatory documents under the section- List of mandatory documents required by ISO 9001:2015" Internal audit program (clause 9.2) and Results of internal audits (clause 9.2) are mandatory but Procedure for internal audit (clause 9.2) are not mandatory) without a procedure can you run internal audit program?

Answer:

Unlike the previous version of the standard where procedure for internal audit was mandatory, new version does not require procedure to be documented but it requires evidences that the internal audit is conducted, and that is the Internal Audit Program and Internal Audit Report.

The fact that the documented procedure is not mandatory doesn't mean that it is forbidden to have one, if the company finds the documented procedure useful, it may keep it. Even in the previous version of the standard, there were only six mandatory documented procedures and yet every company had more than six.
