Scope of the certification audit

Our management approach was to select a team and provide them with a training in order for this team to implement the system instead of hiring a consultant.
Therefore, it is a bit challenging; however, we are doing our best.
The question i would like to ask is when the certification body comes to audit the QMS in the organization will the audit be done only against the quality policy and the quality objectives stated in the QMS Manual? or will the audit also will be done against the policies and procedures published in the organization?

Answer:

The certification audit will cover the entire scope of your QMS (Quality Management System), this includes review of all your QMS documentation (1st stage of the audit) and auditing of your processes and activities against your procedures and requirements of the standard (2nd stage audit).
