-Continuous improvement through regular internal audits.

cross audits exist but I\'m not sure if the term is really so very appropriate in this context.

cross-departmental audits
as here:
https://yosemite.epa.gov/opei/ptrack.nsf/vAPRViewPrintView/D...
It must be said that it's tricky to find a phrase that means one dept audits another (as your text and the above ref describe) without it also possibly meaning that it's a single audit covering more than one dept. However, since the text then explains what it means, I think "cross-departmental" works OK.
