Depending on its importance, this study aims to facilitate the internal audit process with respect to ISO 9001: 2015 accreditation via Expert System approach. Expert systems are knowledge based systems which can be as successful as human experts in the solution of complicated problems by utilizing the expertise and knowledge of experts. However, rule based approach is used in the proposed expert system.Findings- The internal audit evaluations and scoring reports regarding ISO 9001: 2015 directives are obtained as a result of the expert system.Conclusion- The study provides an expert system for internal audit of ISO 9001: 2015 which is essential for all the organizations. With the proposed expert system, the organizations will be able to operate the internal audit process in a systematic way without the need of an expert. Moreover, the deficiencies that do not comply with ISO requirements can be easily identified.
