Audits are a mainstay of monitoring activities in most organizations. From internal review activities to assessing the ability of suppliers to consistently meet requirements, effective audit programs can provide the information you need to maintain peak performance. Any audit program represents a significant investment so organizations need to maximize the value it produces. The personnel involved in performing the audits comprise the majority of the cost of most programs. Employees are typically the least expensive auditors and offer the advantage of being intimately familiar with the products and processes involved. However, it’s hard to maintain a skilled audit team when their currency and focus is limited due to the other activities of their regular jobs. Additionally, employees can fall victim to social or political pressures, resulting in limited or distorted results.G. Arthur Associates can provide well trained, highly experienced auditors to supplement your internal audit function or even develop a custom audit program to meet your specific needs. We provide truly independent and un-biased input to your program. In addition, we specialize in going beyond simple findings of conformity or nonconformity to identify opportunities for improvement.
