We Make the Audit Process Easier, Better & Faster
QMII audit services focus on providing valuable information about where your system is working well and where there are risks and opportunities for improvement. Our auditors are not looking to find errors – they are looking to see how your system functions to meet your requirements.
QMII Auditor Philosophy
QMII Auditors Follow Four Simple Rules
Audits benefit the audit client and the auditee
Creating opportunities to strengthen the system and make better decisions based on facts.
Audits focus on process and system effectiveness
With respect to agreed objectives — not just documentation or superficial conformance.
Audits clearly define conclusions
By stating the requirement, evidence, and nature of each nonconformity completely, correctly, and clearly.
Auditors look for risks and opportunities
Using the People > Process > System™ approach — it is always about the system, not individual people.
Why QMII
Internal Audit Services That Reduce the Fear of an Audit
Despite the important benefits of auditing, many organizations would prefer to avoid audits. QMII audit services put the auditee at ease. Our auditors look to find effectiveness of controls in the system and areas requiring additional controls.
Using the systems approach, our clients add value faster for their stakeholders, measured by bottom-line performance. Their systems become self-improving — ready for driving continual process and system improvement using tools such as lean and six sigma.
