Professional Audit Services
Internal Auditing
Cardan can act as your independent internal audit resource, providing an impartial assessment of your management system against the requirements of the applicable ISO standard and your own policies, procedures and processes.
Our audits can be clause-based, process-based, departmental or integrated across multiple standards.
We focus not simply on finding nonconformities, but on identifying opportunities to strengthen your management system and improve the way it supports your organisation.
Our internal audit services can include audit planning, audit schedules, on-site or remote auditing, audit reports, nonconformity reporting, opportunities for improvement and corrective-action follow-up.
Supplier and Contractor Auditing
Cardan can also conduct supplier and contractor auditing, providing an independent assessment of suppliers, subcontractors, service providers and other organisations within your supply chain.
We can develop an audit around your specific requirements, contractual obligations, ISO standards, regulatory requirements or supplier approval criteria.
This provides greater assurance that important suppliers and contractors have appropriate systems and controls in place and are capable of consistently meeting your requirements.
Management System Auditing and Support
We also provide an independent third-party-style management system auditing of your management system to help establish its readiness for formal certification, surveillance or recertification.
This can include GAP Assessments, pre-certification audits, mock certification audits and certification-readiness reviews, giving your organisation the opportunity to identify and address potential issues before the Certification Body arrives.
Where formal accredited certification is required, Cardan can also support you throughout the certification process and help you prepare for your Certification Body assessment.
