Inadequate planning
Poorly planned audits can lead to incomplete or inaccurate assessments if too ambitious or unrealistic. GQS helps you develop effective and achievable audits and audit programmes.
GQS Project Life Cycle
GQS have the expertise to help you overcome four common reasons for audit failures
Lack of competent personnel
An audit’s effectiveness and credibility can be compromised without competent auditors. With fully competent expertise across various industry sectors, we conduct audits on your behalf, managing internal audit programmes, and handling your competency maintenance.
Ineffective communication
Failure to communicate audit findings and recommendations can hinder improvement efforts. Robust reporting is a recognised strength of GQS, and our skilled personnel. We take an objective, factual approach to audit findings and results.
Lack of independence
GQS act on your behalf with demonstrable independence and removing any potential conflicts of interest. Our approach to auditing is very similar to inspection in so far as we can act as 2nd party or 3rd party auditors. Using GQS removes any internal barriers and transcends potential internal organisational tensions.
