Companies use compliance audits as part of the EHS process to confirm that they’re meeting regulatory requirements. Effective audits will present not just findings, but root causes and corrective actions. Based on their internal and client needs, companies tailor their audit programs. When considering auditing programs, the ideal solution for your business should be easy-to-implement, cost-effective, efficient, effective and adaptable to the various needs of each part of the organization; support managing the audit program; provide the applicable audit protocol questions; simplify the auditing process; track and manage findings and corrective actions, and their closure; and provide configurable reports on audit results. So how do you get there? To help, Antea Group has developed a matrix of auditing concepts for use in determining the best approach for your needs.
