Audits, Compliance & System Effectiveness

Structured assessment within the PDCA cycle — from evaluation to closing the gap and verified effectiveness.

Audit Philosophy

Effective audits assess more than documented procedures. They evaluate how structures are applied in practice, how responsibilities are understood and how processes interact in real operational environments.

A risk-oriented audit identifies compliance gaps and structural vulnerabilities — while maintaining strict independence and professional objectivity.

Substance before formality. Evidence before opinion. Effectiveness before paperwork.
