Audit Management System Software

Automating the audit workflow with CQ Audit Management Software empowers business leaders with data at their fingertips – to identify gaps and predict quality and safety performance in the future. The software gives access to documents and reports of past audits as well to enable you to capture failure trends and escalate audit responses to NC or CAPA for continuous improvement. With this, businesses can experience better performance, customer satisfaction, and thereby, growth in revenues.

Different regulatory standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 have different requirements. The regulations cover all aspects of the product value chain and the need for each function will vary depending on risk factors. With CQ Audit Management Software, planning audits around each of these and defining the frequency based on the gaps and business risks becomes easier. CQ’s Audit Management Solution also improves compliance to standards by integrating with CQ’s Training Management Solution to ensure only qualified personnel are assigned based on the standard selected.

The key to being 100% compliant revolves around having a proactive risk management strategy. The first step to risk management is to know your gaps. And, the audit process helps you uncover and document these gaps. To remain audit and inspection ready requires the business to plan, manage changes, learn from the past audits, create schedules and assign roles and responsibilities, organize data and documents and conduct periodic internal audits. The CQ Audit Management Software helps in every step of the way, providing visibility and transparency across the entire process.

Warning letters, product recalls and fines are some of the ways non-
compliance is penalized. This can cause losses for quality leaders in terms of investments for reworking a product or scrapping it and starting afresh. Safety leaders may face higher employee attrition and low productivity. Litigation, penalties, and compensations can add to the costs. The reputation of the business can also suffer causing a severe dent in market growth. Periodic and well-planned and executed audits can help mitigate these risks by identifying the gaps in a timely manner and reduce the impact to the business. The CQ Audit Management Software can manage the entire audit cycle, including approvals, investigations, and linked records to ensure greater compliance and growth.
