Auditing

QIAS has trained and qualified auditors who regularly conduct internal auditing and supplier audits on behalf of clients.

Many of our clients find it more productive to engage us to conduct audits on their behalf and find that the effectiveness of our audits is greater than when their own employees conduct the audits.

The reasons for this are simple:

We have conducted many hundreds of internal audits between us, so we have far more experience in auditing than most clients employees would have.
Through our internal auditing experience we can quickly recognise what is important and what could go wrong, we then focus more on those aspects when conducting audits.
When we conduct an internal audit we have only one priority, “To conduct the most effective audit in the time allowed”. We are not compromised by conflicting priorities such as insufficient time available or not wanting to cause problems for work colleagues by highlighting potential discrepancies.

We do not conduct audits as contractors on behalf of any of the certification bodies. Our independence allows for the delivery of the best outcomes for our clients.
