Determining context of the organization

I'm having some difficulty determining how to format the context of our organization. I was wondering if perhaps I could also state in our QMS that the internal and external issues are to be determined/addressed yearly, and that the meeting to determine these issues is to be held after our upcoming audit. Will that be acceptable? Our transition audit is rapidly approaching...
Thanks in advance for your input.

Answer:

Defining the context on annual meeting can be acceptable from the side of the standard when it comes to defining how the context will be determined. However, you need to determine context of the organization before the transition audit because without defined context, the QMS will be incomplete since so many other elements of the QMS depend on the context.

My suggestion is to determine the context prior to the audit and there are some simple ways to do it, for example SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis. This analysis will leave a record behind it and can be useful to demonstrate that d etermination of the context have been conducted.
