IMS South Africa / Auditing
Go into your assessment with a clearer picture.
An audit is useful when it shows how the system is working and what needs attention. Our auditors help organisations examine processes, review evidence and follow up on findings.
Discuss auditing & certification preparationHow we support your team
Agree the scope
Define the processes, locations and management-system criteria to be reviewed, together with the evidence and people involved.
Examine the evidence
Review records and working arrangements against the agreed criteria. Record observations so teams can understand the basis of a finding.
Follow corrective actions
Allocate responsibility for findings, investigate causes and review evidence that the agreed action has been effective.
Prepare for certification
Use a gap review to prioritise remaining work and organise assessment evidence. Independent certification bodies make certification decisions.
In practice
Connect the finding to the follow-up.
A preparation review can identify missing procedure approvals, incomplete audit records or overdue actions early enough for the responsible team to address them.
We agree scope and deliverables with you before work begins. Services can support certification preparation; IMS South Africa does not award certification or guarantee an assessment outcome.
