What is ComplianceQuest’s Audit Management Software?
For highly regulated companies, periodic audits of internal operations, supply chain vendors and contractor compliance are necessary to comply with laws and to ensure product and process safety, quality and customer satisfaction. Companies are, therefore, fast realizing that point solutions, manual spreadsheet-based systems or antiquated systems that have not kept up with the current consumer business or technology requirements, no longer help manage internal and third party audit programs. CQ’s Audit Management Solution provides the required capabilities to enable companies to stay ahead of the curve!
Audit Management System Features
Planning And
Scheduling Audit
CQ-Audit management software allows for audits to be planned and scheduled in advance. Audit plans can be defined by site, department, suppliers, etc. The audit plan can be reviewed, approved and communicated to the relevant auditors who can then plan their audit calendars accordingly. CQ-Audit will automatically notify the auditor and the auditees when the audits are due to be conducted, giving all parties time to prepare and make the audit exercise fruitful.
preparing for
an audit
CQ-Audit management software allows for auditors to be notified of upcoming audits. The notification period is configurable based on the company policy. The Auditor can then review the past audits, open findings, critical findings, CAPAs – if any, weaknesses, new regulations to check on, etc. The audit history can be downloaded to the auditor’s mobile device, including tablets, to support audits to be conducted on the go. The Auditor can also use an existing best-practice checklist or create and attach a custom checklist document that will support the audit.
