Internal audit scope

I am putting together a proposal for carrying out Internal audits for a client to ISO27001 Standards.  During an internal audit what areas should be covered, broadly speaking?

Answer: Broadly speaking, you should consider the areas responsible for ISO 27001 main requirements (e.g., document control, risk assessment, management review, corrective actions, etc.), and the areas where the applicable controls stated in SoA are implemented. If you plan a single audit, all the controls stated in SoA should be audited. If you are planning multiple audits, then you can audit part of the controls stated in SoA on each internal audit, but you have to ensure that all controls were covered by your planned audits.
