The audit.

Each audit is planned by our auditor who is certified in ISO 9001 by the BSI, an invitation to attend the audit is sent to all the relevant parties, the nature and reason for the audit is given but any specific details i.e. job numbers, accounts, documents are not disclosed.

During the audit the employee/s will be asked to demonstrate an understanding of the process by navigating the systems and documentation as detailed within the process. A list of all finding will be produced at the end of each audit detailing non conformances, observations and recommendations.

Non conformances are not revealed during the audit and at no time should the employee feel that this is a personal audit on skills or ability.
