Internal audits are key for organizations registered to any number of standards including the well recognized ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. Audits also assist organizations in ensuring that critical business goals or regulatory requirements are satisfied. The challenge is to find sufficient resources inside the organization that have the capacity to perform their full time responsibilities and deliver valuable audits. This is where ICS can help.
With a team of professional auditors drawn from virtually every economic classification, we can rapidly adapt to your specific business. Our team includes specialists in the audits of quality, health and safety, environment and food standards. In short, we know how to audit and we know how to apply those skills to your business.
We have been asked to perform internal audits on a one time and ongoing basis. Some assignments include the construction of an internal audit programme. Other clients have required we follow an already defined audit methodology. Whatever your requirement for planning, preparing, conducting, reporting and following up on audits, we can help.
The costs of outsourcing internal audits can be surprisingly competitive. When one considers the cost of training internal audit resources and their time away from other tasks, internal audits conducted by your own people are not free. The time and training costs can add up to tens of thousands of dollars.
If you think it is time to consider outsourcing of audits, give us a call. We will be happy to provide a cost and any additional details required. |
