Gap analysis versus internal audit

"We have transitioned to the 2015 9001 & 14001 standards this year. As part of the preparation, we did a full gap analysis against each clause of the stds. Do we still need to do an internal audit? is it not answering the same questions?”

Answer:
Yes, you still need to do an internal audit. Internal audits and gap analysis are different things and have different purposes. A gap analysis identifies what is missing when it is supposed that something is missing. An internal audit is performed on a process that is supposed to be already operating according to the audit criteria.
