The Audit Management module in QMS helps drive efficiency and effectiveness into the audit management process.
Audit management forms the basis for a sound audit by offering straightforward, measurable steps for achieving specific audit objectives. Documentation of these audit management procedures allows auditors to remain well-informed about ongoing activities with minimal confusion. Audit management procedures are a guideline for auditors, employees, and other stakeholders.
Audit management is a quintessential process to ensure that all audit directives are correctly implemented and executed. It encourages any organization to:
Audits are an integral component of compliance and regulatory requirements. It is essential for analyzing the success of processes, products, and systems. Audit management is also essential for verifying objective evidence of processes and providing evidence for reducing and eliminating any problem areas.
Quality auditing management should highlight examples of good practice rather than simply identifying nonconformance, process issues, and corrective actions to ensure maximum benefit. With this practice in place, other departments can share information and adjust their working practices, delivering continuous improvement as a result.

The audit is carried out either by trained members of an organization’s staff (internal quality audit) or by auditors from outside the organization (external quality audit). The process of quality audits is divided into four phases as follows:
The first step in the quality audit process is audit initiation. This involves a preliminary discussion between three parties – the client, the auditee, and the auditing organization. The discussion includes:
Audit planning includes several activities by implying actions and reactions from the involved parties, including scheduling the audit, the number of resources needed, gathering audit, reporting the results, determining the sampling procedures, and following up on corrective and preventive actions.
After audit initiation and planning, the auditor starts to perform various activities such as evaluation of process and system controls, employee interviews, on-site audit management, and regular communication with other relevant parties within the organization. Audit execution is often called ‘fieldwork’. It concludes with the final discussion between the auditor and the auditee.
The audit report includes the observation results, inspection or test results obtained, providing data on management, conformances and non-conformances found. It also includes recommended corrective actions that need to be taken.
We chose to implement CQ’s Non-Conformance Management, CAPA Management, Document Management and Related Training, Audit and Supplier Management. Works as shown. It is easy to configure, manage and use. We chose ComplianceQuest to address our ISO 9000 compliance, other regulatory requirements and Continuous Improvement needs.

The three different types of quality audits are mentioned below:
Process audit – Specifies if a company’s processes are working within defined limits. It measures the conformance, effectiveness, and adequacy of the process controls established by procedures, work instructions, training, and process specifications.
Product audit – Inspects if a particular product or service complies with customer requirements, specifications, and performance standards.
System audit – Confirms that all management system elements are effective and appropriate while being developed, implemented, and documented as specified. A QMS audit measures an organization’s existing QMS to assure the conformance of the system with contract commitments, company policies, and regulatory requirements.
