Audit Process

The Audit Process has two key stages:

Application Stage

The client fills in a form that gives us basic information about their organization, people involved and operation processes.
Based upon the information provided, we furnish proposal to client. We furnish the proposal with complete details like costing, methodology, requirements, and accreditation scope, timescales, terms & conditions and general requirements.
Following client’s acceptance of our proposal, an agreement is signed between the client and Aicert.
Post agreement, a detailed audit plan is created by Aicert and shared with client. The idea is that the audit plan/schedule is agreed upon by Aicert as well as the client.

Audit Management system documentation received from the client to determine adequacy with respect to the relevant standard.
Compile a detailed report based on the study of the quality documentation and discuss the same with client.
Client shall remove the inadequacies of the above steps and prepares the quality documentation to demonstrate the compliance.
Conduct a pre-audit which will be a detailed, on-site audit of the client’s implemented documented system against the company's working practices and the appropriate quality standard.

Stage-2 audit will be an assessment audit, which will be carried out after stage-1 audit’s inadequacies have been removed and the organization is all set to demonstrate the compliance to the selected international standard.
At the close of the stage-2 audit, the Lead Auditor will leave his/her recommendation with the client organization. If any non-conformances are raised, they will be discussed at the earliest opportunity.
