When an organisation conducts regular audits and can thus demonstrate compliance with standards and guidelines, this is a positive sign to third parties. For example, customers, prospects or suspects can see from this that the company they want to do business with is reliable and offers a certain level of assurance. An appropriate audit provides insights into possible improvements that can be implemented. It also reveals what measures need to be taken to ensure and/or improve the required quality.
If you want to obtain a certificate or seal of approval for your organisation, you can have an external audit carried out. Having a certificate or hallmark is usually a hard requirement in a tender or for awarding a contract. Audits demonstrate with objective evidence that a process or organisation meets the requirements of a standard, guideline or legislation. To ensure this objectivity, it is important that the auditor is independent of the organisation.
The audit examination, which consists of several steps, assesses how successfully and effectively the processes are deployed in an organisation. With the certificate, you can ultimately demonstrate that you meet the established requirements. As an organisation, this could benefit you greatly by, for example, increasing customer confidence with regard to obtaining a webshop seal of approval or winning tenders because you comply with ISO standards.
An appropriate audit is a tool for continuous improvement. The following insights can be uncovered by an audit:
A modern document management system is web-based and can be accessed via any workstation or mobile device within or – if desired – outside your organisation. Documents can be shared with your chain partners via the cloud in a secure and controlled manner.
