Internal Auditing

We at Management Solutions Group understand the challenges of managing the tasks of a management system and working to ensure that these systems:

• Meet the requirements for certification
• Are prepared for registrar and accreditation body audits (Certification, surveillance, and re-certification)
• Are effective for the organization
• Use resources of the organization efficiently
• Are used to implement valuable processes that can be measured, analyzed and evaluated to drive improvements for the organization where applicable

Our team (See our Team members) has extensive experience in the areas and standards they audit. This includes implementation consulting, auditing, and training. We bring this experience and apply it in our internal audits with the goal of providing valuable input for consideration by your organization’s team.
