MSMP - Internal Audit

Management Systems Maintenance Program (MSMP)

Maintaining and continually improving your Certified management systems requires a sustained focus and vision.

Maintaining certification underscores this fact. Companies often lost the momentum, focus, and commitment after achieving initial certification. The result is a scramble to prepare for Surveillance Audits, stress and anxiety during the annual Surveillance Audit, and an unplanned commitment of resources to deal with the aftermath.

Quality@Works experience in implementation and certification of various Management Systems adds great value to this difficult process – beyond simply maintaining certification. Competent Internal Auditors are more likely to be the first to discover a system that has broken down, needs attention, or is improving.

While known problem areas might be deliberately avoided during a regulatory, accreditation, customer, or certification audits, Internal Auditors are required to focus both on problem areas and on areas demonstrating improvement. The training and skills needed to do this well are vital. Competent & Experience Internal Auditors are a crucial part of the Management Systems.
