Internal Audit

Contract Management System Auditing (Internal Audits or Maintenance Audits)

Did you know you can hire an outside auditor to perform your Management System Internal Audits?  We will ensure you comply with the audit requirements prior to your ongoing Registrar surveillance audits.  We have outlined the scope of internal audit cycle activities that you may anticipate.

During each visit we will, unless requested otherwise:

• Plan and complete your internal audits including documentation audits.

• Work in conjunction with your Audit Schedule or select various elements of the Standard and your procedures to ensure all elements are audited.

• Utilize your documented system forms to address nonconformances and observations.

• Conduct a closing meeting to address the findings and review actions raised to ensure that timely closure.

Gap Audits

The assigned consultant will conduct:

• Opening Meeting - Explanation of activities to management team and key personnel.

• System Evaluation Assessment - We will analyze your operation to determine areas of strengths and weaknesses in relation to the standard requirements. We will identify key business processes, as well as determine the scope of registration to ensure proper application of the standard.

• Conduct Management Debriefing - We will meet with your management team and key personnel to review the existing system shortcomings and recommendations for corrective actions.  We will verbally review the projected time phased implementation plan.

• Written Report - We will prepare a detailed report identifying non-conformances, listing recommendations, corrective actions, pertinent observations and a time phased implementation plan.  We will also address how to streamline the common elements of documentation.

Final Review Audit

Eagle Group^® will visit your facility to assess your documented management system against each element of the Standard.  We encourage you to send your documentation to us, prior to our visit, so we may conduct a desk study.  This will allow our independent auditor to evaluate your written system against your working practices.  We will also assess your system to confirm that each of the "shall statements" of the Standard has been addressed.  We will utilize your corrective action system to raise non-conformances and provide recommendations for the implementation of corrective actions, prior to registration.

We currently conduct audits for clients to verify that customers / 3rd Party Tollers / Formulators / Suppliers are complying to agreed to requirements.

For instance we currently verify that EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) registered products are produced per the EPA Confidential Statement of Formulation and our clients specified use requirements.

A confidential summary report will be produced to your requirements and if you wish we will provide additional services such as a ranking of the organization.

These type audits are often done to meet the requirements of a  Responsible Care^®  type Management System.
