I'm assuming you are referring to ISO 27001 Annex A section A.18.2 Information security reviews. Considering that, the internal audit is the process which covers the controls from this section. Considering that, the steps you must consider regarding ISO 27001 requirements are:
- Document review: to (1) become acquainted with the processes in the ISMS, and (2) to find out if there are nonconformities in the documentation with regard to the standard
- Creating the checklist: write requirements you must check during the audit
- Planning the audit: plan which departments and/or locations to visit and when
- Performing the audit: execute what was planned
- Reporting: to summarize all the nonconformities and relevant information you found
- Follow-up: to check whether all the corrective actions raised during the internal audit are closed
