  AUDITING

An audit is a systematic evaluation of objective data to determine the level of fulfillment of some predetermined criteria. We conduct assessments (audits) of existing quality systems to determine compliance or degree of compliance with the appropriate ISO 9000, QS 9000, or other standard of the clients choice. This assessment will be led or performed by fully trained Assessors. The following services are offered:

  • Gap Analysis: This is performed on a varying level of comprehensiveness, starting with the lowest level, which would be a survey, to a high level of detail to find minute nonconformities. A gap analysis is typically conducted as  first step to designing a system.
  • Pre-assessment Audit: this is an audit that typically is performed prior to a registration audit, which is the audit based upon which a certificate is awarded by a registrar.
  • Supplier Evaluation: These are audits that a client would ask us to do on their behalf for the purpose of evaluating potential suppliers.
  • Subcontract Third Party Quality Systems Assessment: These are audits typically requested by registrars to evaluate a company that is seeking certification.
  • Perform your Internal Audits: This is perhaps the most popular. This is where a client would engage us to do audits on their behalf on themselves. Most large companies train a team of auditors that spend a good portion of their time for auditing. Smaller companies, however, are better served by hiring professional auditors on a part time basis. The job gets done better.
