What do you think is the most significant change introduced by ISO 19011:2026, and how will it affect the way we conduct audits? In my opinion, the new emphasis on risk-based thinking will push auditors to move beyond simply checking compliance and focus more on the effectiveness, context, and real risks of the organization.
