Pre-audit Gap Assessment Services

Assess Your Management System's Readiness

Before starting the assessment process, many organizations choose to have a gap analysis to enable them to understand where their management sits in terms of compliance to the standard or scheme and what remedial action – if any – needs to be taken. Pre-Audit Gap Analysis reviews how your management system has addressed, or plans to address, all requirements of a standard or scheme. This analysis gives you the opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have about your system, or the assessment process.

Pre-Audit Gap Assessment enables a Business to decide how to adjust and customize its Processes in accordance with Management System Needs, so that it can ensure Compliance, become Certified and enable Continuous Improvement. Available across all Management Systems and Standards, Pre-Audits Gap Assessments allow you to Assess your Management System's Readiness and Save your Time and Money that would otherwise be spent on Redundant Audits.

A pre-assessment audit is performed with the same independence and objectivity as a certification audit. The auditor(s) will conduct activities such as documentation review, process review, interview of process owners etc., in order to gather the necessary information that evidence compliance. Audits are performed on-site and are a complete assessment of the management system against the requirements of the relevant standard. As any other audit, all nonconformities and observations found will be presented in an audit report that will be delivered at the end of the process; this report will serve as a baseline for the organization to improve its processes and implement the necessary corrective actions.
