ISO 14001 Audit Field Work & Audit Report
During the audit fieldwork we will test your management system and operational processes using risk-based sampling techniques. Any findings will be raised based on the objective evidence sampled, and we’ll be transparent about this during the audit.
A full audit report is provided, including positive observations, which can be presented to leadership and other stakeholders as a measure of the effectiveness of your EMS. The audit report should always be shared in full.
ISO 14001 Audit Findings & Remediations
Assurco does not provide consultancy advice, however our auditors are trained to provide enough information within audit reports for you to understand the nonconformances and find a suitable corrective action.
We will also prioritise weaker areas of your ISO 14001 quality management system in future audits, taking a risk-based approach.
