AUDITING & GAP ASSESSMENT
Plan + Manage + Conduct
Gap Assessment & Internal Audit
- Advantage of outsourcing the Assessment to Brightways
- Experienced, to greater knowledge of the requirements of the standard(s) than internal personnel, so can be more effective and provide better advice
- Independent to the audit process, therefore, will have an unbiased view
- Knowledgeable – being updated in regard to regulatory requirements and legislation
- Less distraction and no argument with employees as there is no involvement or interest in those processes
- Fresh pair of eyes – having broad knowledge and experience in a similar industry, more likely to identify any weakness compared to internal personnel
Self-Assessment and Internal Audit
Advantage of Self-Assessment
- Using internal personnel with greater knowledge and understanding of the products, services and processes than the external auditors
- Personnel empowerment through Internal Audit training and skills
- Improve teamwork, employee morale and team bonding through engaging internal auditors
- Keep objectivity and impartiality as it is done by other people within the organisation but not the person responsible for the function audited
- A cheaper exercise as internal resources are used rather than external resources such as consultants or external auditors
