Needs & Expectations

• share a consistent doctrine and interpretation between scheme owner and users
• gain consistency, improve reproducibility and spare time and money in audit reporting
• increase and promote transparency about certification bodies’ rules and activities

ViaSyst experts collected thousands of third party audit findings and validated or adapted them at three levels:

• correct attribution to the relevant MS standard clause or requirement
• correct wording and reference to collected audit evidence
• correct interpretation (e.g. major, minor, remark, ok) according to scheme owner ranking scale

The resulting audit finding databases suit for various uses:

• Companies may assess their preparedness for certification and check the correctness of their auditor’s interpretation
• Auditors may rely on validated and adaptable findings to write their report and justify their interpretation
• Scheme owners, groups or authorities may edit and share a consistent and reproducible doctrine on how audit findings and situations shall be interpreted

Following audit finding databases are available in a standard version on ViaSyst platform:

• ISO / PRP 22000
• ISO 9001 – 14001 – OHSAS 18001
• BRC / IFS

Access to these audit finding databases is granted together with audit report or knowledge base applications.
