SUMMARY
Organizations often have unexpected things happen during certification, surveillance, or customer audits, not because they’ve got a bad system, but because they don’t take the time to prepare. It’s not that people are incompetent or that they’ve let things fall apart. They simply aren’t ready for visitors.

The actual fact is that an external audit is not a usual event. Your staff is not accustomed to being interviewed by total strangers. Your records may be accessible but they’re not particularly tidy. You may have allowed yourself to get distracted, resulting in minor lapses that can appear much more critical under an auditor’s scrutiny. Murphy’s Law seems to haunt you at every turn.

The way to avoid being blind-sided during an audit or getting cited with unwarranted nonconformances is by taking the time to prepare. Think of the preparation for a third-party audit as an opportunity for spring cleaning.

 
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
The webinar will discuss preparing for the audit and will provide tips on how to respond to the auditor. It will include:
  • Preparing your staff
  • Reviewing documents and records
  • Checking status of open action items
  • Verifying individual’s availability
  • Doing a check of the facility
  • Tips on answering auditors questions

BONUS
Get your specific questions answered in a live Q&A session during the webinar.
