Experience:
Our Auditors have experience and their credentials are among the best in the
industry.
All of our auditors certified to the current ISO 19011 standard and many also
maintain certificate through an accredited agency such as IRCA, RAB. Our auditors
have high levels of experience and are matched to your type of industry. We
personally match an auditor with your industry.
Auditors are trained to audit to the requirements of the standards, not to
personal preferences and to protect the integrity of the standard and perform
a very thorough unbiased assessment of your system.
Auditors
are often seen as being in a "policing" role
rather than in a support role. It is true
that one of the
components of the audit is to look for compliance
with the selected management system standard
but the other often ignored component is that
of improvement. A certification body is not
allowed to consult, but are allowed to identify
those areas where the company could improve
their activities and operations if they considered
alternative ways of controlling the processes.
This is an underlying tenet of our audit operations;
we would rather make a dozen suggestions and
have just one of them result in an improvement
rather than make none because of the focus
on compliance.
We are not upset if you ignore our suggestions,
as you know your own business better than anyone
else. We also recommend our clients to "question" us
if they feel that we have generated an invalid CAR. We are always happy to
explain the validity of any Corrective Actions.
We believe an auditor needs to fit your company. They need to be able to work
with you and your employees for many years. You are always given the option
to choose which auditor you wish to work with, as long as the auditor has experience
in your industry. You may even change your auditor if you do not believe they
are a good fit with your company. There would be NO questions asked.
FAQ’s
OUR
AUDITORS DON’T SEEM TO
HAVE A REAL GOOD FEEL FOR MY INDUSTRY?
This may be due to the fact that they
may be too reliant on utilizing a checklist
as the true guide for performing an audit.
Their familiarity with
any given industry is not always strong. DAC ISO Lead Auditors have the skills
that allow them to go beyond the dependence on such checklists. They are comfortable
in working with YOUR System using a checklist as a tool and not the solution.
THEY SHOULD BE ISO SYSTEMS EXPERTS THAT HAPPEN TO BE AUDITORS AS WELL.
