The Quality Management System of the LGU-Loon, under the leadership of Honorable Mayor Elvi Peter L. Relampagos, underwent an ISO 9001:2015 Internal Quality Audit (IQA) Training aligned with ISO 19011:2018 Guidelines on Auditing Management Systems with Mock Audit and Technical Guidance on Request for Action and Root Cause Analysis on March 4-7, 2024. Participated in by teams of auditors and process owners with the competent staff, the internal audit evaluated the LGU-Loon’s management, core, and support processes compliance with the ISO 9001:2015 standards and other pertinent QMS requirements.
The conduct of IQA is essential as it determines whether the LGU-Loon’s Quality Management System (QMS) complies with its planned arrangements, ISO 9001:2015 requirements, and other relevant regulations. It also helps in identifying potential areas for improvement and scrutinizing the progress of the findings resulting from previous internal audits conducted.
The four-day audit has been instrumental in the determination of positive points, non-conformities, and potential problems and opportunities/areas of improvement for all divisions in compliance with key performance indicators (KPIs) set by the entire LGU-Loon itself following the ISO Standards. This was facilitated and conducted by the ISO 9001:2015 and 45001:2018 IRCA-Certified Lead Auditor and ISO 14001:2015 EMS Trained Auditor, Mr. John Joseph D. Denoga.
Following the comprehensive overview of the audit’s findings, Mr. Earl P. Tongol, MBA, the Lead Trainer and Consultant of LGU-Loon, IRCA-Certified ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor and Certified International Professional Training Consultant together with the Project Assistant and Coordinator, Mr. Larry C. Losloso thanked and congratulated all the Internal Quality auditors for lending their time and effort to assess and examine the Municipality of Loon’s internal audit.
