Industrial Audit Assistance
Audit Support Services
Compliance. Assurance. Resilience.
Services include pre-audit gap analysis, on-site audit execution support, evidence documentation and post-audit corrective action planning.
The institute's audit support services are structured around the three stages of the audit cycle: preparation, execution and follow-up. Organisations may draw on support at any one stage or throughout the entire cycle, depending on their internal capacity and the nature of the audit.
At each stage, the objective is to help the organisation present an accurate picture of its position and to respond to findings in a considered, practical way.
What this covers
- Pre-audit gap analysis: review of current arrangements against applicable requirements to identify gaps before the audit
- Readiness planning: prioritised actions to address gaps within the time available
- On-site execution support: assistance to internal teams in coordinating with auditors and responding to queries
- Evidence documentation: organisation of records, procedures and supporting material
- Post-audit corrective action planning: development of practical responses to audit findings
- Follow-up review: verification that corrective actions are being implemented
Throughout, the institute works alongside the organisation's own staff, helping to build internal familiarity with audit requirements.
