管理体系能够帮助各组织机构实现它们的目标，而对这些体系的审核则能让这些组织更好地运转起来。近日，ISO对管理体系的全球审核标准进行了修订，此次修订将为组织提供更多的参考。
管理体系标准受到越来越多的关注，这是因为各组织看到了管理体系在相互关联的过程中的应用价值，从而帮助它们更好地实现目标。从质量、能源管理到食物或交通安全，能够帮助组织形成有效管理体系的标准越来越多了。
仅仅是ISO就有超过70种管理体系标准，这些标准是基于国际经验与实践制定的，能够帮助机构取得更好的绩效，节省更多的资金，并取得竞争优势。
为了充分利用管理体系并保证持续改进，需要定期对这些管理体系进行审核。然而，如果像大多数组织一样，同时拥有多个管理体系，那么这就不是一件简单的事情了。
但是，ISO 19011——审核管理体系指南则为同时在多个体系中提供一种统一的协调一致方法。
负责修订这项标准的ISO项目委员会的主席Denise Robitaille表示，该项标准的修订是为了确保它适应市场的变化，为不断进步的科技和近来新出版或修订的标准提供有效指导。
她还说到，“在2018版本中其它主要变化包括在审核原则中增加了基于风险的方法，从而反映在管理标准和市场中对于风险的重视。”
“此项标准为审核风险和机会提供了一些建议，同时还提供了如何将基于风险的思考模式运用在审计过程中的相关信息。”
“此外，我们还扩大了一些其他领域的指南，例如管理一个审核项目或执行一次审核。”

Auditing standard for management system standards now updated
Management systems help organizations achieve their objectives, and auditing them makes good business sense. The International Standard for auditing management systems has just been updated, giving more guidance than ever before.
Management system standards are growing in popularity as organizations see how they can be applied to manage interrelated processes to achieve their objectives. From quality or energy management to food or traffic safety, the list of standards aimed at helping organizations put in place effective management systems is getting long.
ISO alone has over 70 management system standards, building on international expertise and best practice to help organizations perform better, save money and develop a competitive edge.
In order to get the best out of a management system and ensure continuous improvement, regular auditing needs to take place. Not an easy task if, like most organizations, you have several management systems in place.
ISO 19011, Guidelines for auditing management systems, however, offers a uniform, harmonized approach, enabling effective auditing across multiple systems at the same time.
Denise Robitaille, Chair of the ISO project committee1) that revised the standard, said it was updated to ensure it continues providing effective guidance to address changes in the marketplace, evolving technologies and the many new management system standards recently published or revised.
“Other key changes in the 2018 version include the addition of a risk-based approach to the principles of auditing to reflect the enhanced focus on risk in both management standards and in the marketplace,” she said.
“There are tips on auditing risks and opportunities as well as information on applying risk-based thinking to the audit process.
“In addition, guidance has been expanded in a number of areas such as managing an audit programme and conducting an audit.”
