Audit Management System

The general definition of an audit is an evaluation or measure of a person, organisation, system, process, enterprise, project or product.

An audit most commonly refers to audits in accounting, but similar concepts also exist in project management, quality management, and energy conservation, referred to as technical audits in this article.

An Audit Management System is a process, typically computer based, to control, manage and measure the auditing process.

Health And Safety Audits (Such as ISO 18001 Certification)

Accidents in the work place are costly to businesses, workers and their families. In addition to the costs of personal injuries, far greater costs may include damage to property or equipment, and lost production. Additionally directors and managers can be held personally responsible for failing to control their companies' health and safety.

ISO 18001 certification covers Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems enabling businesses to be confident they are doing as much as they can to protect their employees. It also allows the business to ensure they are operating according to their stated health and safety policies.

Quality Audits (Such as ISO 9001 Certification)

Quality audits are typically performed at predefined time intervals and ensure that the business has clearly defined internal system monitoring procedures alongside effective action. This can help determine if the business complies with the defined quality system processes.

Environmental Audits (Such as ISO 14001 Certification)

ISO 14001 is a voluntary international standard for environmental management systems. Meeting the requirements of ISO 14001 is a management tool enabling an organization of any size or type to:

1. Identify and control the environmental impact of its activities, products or services;
2. Improve its environmental performance continually;
3. Implement a systematic approach to setting environmental objectives and targets.

The goal of ISO 14001 implementation is to obtain certification. This indicates that the environmental procedures, systems and documentation standards conform to the established ISO 14001 standard. A common misconception is that ISO certification directly reflects legal compliance. Certification under ISO 14001 does not directly reflect compliance with any legal requirements.
