Compliance Quest - Audit Management Software System
Discover and resolve issues by building a continuously improving Quality Management System (QMS) & EHS Management System (EHS) by digitally transforming your audit management process – right from audit planning and preparation to audit report and closure. Make it easy for people to drive efficiency and effectiveness into the audit management process.
With CQ’s Audit Management Software, we ensure companies have the ability to build a flexible, scalable and configurable audit management workflow. Depending on the specific needs of your organization, you can automate a rapid audit process or configure a workflow for a complex audit.
Create, schedule and manage your audit program using the calendar view available in the CQ Audit Management Software. The software also facilitates collaboration between stakeholders during different stages of an audit and helps the enterprise build a quality and safety workflow that is data-driven and enables Continuous Improvement (CI). CQ’s Audit Checklist feature helps quality and safety leaders “know their gaps”, take preventive action and, overall, stay compliant to all regulations.
Businesses need to plan their internal and external audits and determine the frequency based on the business risk and relevant regulatory requirements. From audit planning, scheduling to documenting findings and initiating investigations and CAPAs where required, CQ Audit Management Software automates the entire audit workflow. Quality and safety leaders can set up calendar views that enable all stakeholders to be alerted about scheduled audits and prepare accordingly. It also empowers them to flexibly choose between complex, stringent or streamlined audits.
Automating the audit workflow with CQ Audit Management Software empowers business leaders with data at their fingertips – to identify gaps and predict quality and safety performance in the future. The software gives access to documents and reports of past audits as well to enable you to capture failure trends and take corrective and preventive action for continuous improvement. With this, businesses can experience better employee safety, performance, customer satisfaction, and thereby, growth in revenues.
Different regulatory standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 45001, OSHA have different requirements. The regulations cover all aspects of the product value chain and workforce requirements. The need for each function will vary depending on risk factors. With CQ Audit Management Software, planning audits around each of these and defining the frequency based on the gaps and business risks becomes easier and can improve compliance.
The key to being 100% compliant revolves around having a proactive risk management strategy. The first step to risk management is to know your gaps. And, the audit process helps you uncover and document these gaps. To remain audit and inspection ready requires the business to plan, manage changes, learn from the past audits, create schedules and assign roles and responsibilities, organize data and documents and conduct periodic internal audits. The CQ Audit Management Software helps in every step of the way, providing visibility and transparency across the entire process.
Warning letters, product recalls and fines are some of the ways non-
compliance is penalized. This can cause losses for quality leaders in terms of investments for reworking a product or scrapping it and starting afresh. Safety leaders may face higher employee attrition and low productivity. Litigation, penalties and compensations can add to the costs. The reputation of the business can also suffer causing a severe dent in market growth. Periodic and well-planned and executed audits can help mitigate these risks by identifying the gaps in a timely manner and reduce the impact to the business. The CQ Audit Management Software can manage the entire audit cycle to ensure greater compliance and growth.
