Audit Management: A Highly Integrated Approach to Manage Audit Findings and Drive Continuous Improvements
Audits are an inevitable part of a business’s risk management strategy, as they help identify and manage potential issues by assessing the quality of processes. However, the conventional methods of conducting audits are neither efficient nor compliance-friendly, and one of the significant challenges for organizations is managing decentralized audit systems. It becomes difficult for them to perform detailed analysis and make informed business decisions. Therefore, it is recommended that organizations upgrade to cloud-based audit management software to make their quality audits more efficient and productive.
Qualityze Audit Management enables end-to-end process management of both internal and external audits while managing compliance risks. Also, it fosters a culture of continuous improvement by ensuring timely audits. The advanced reporting tools provide auditors with better control over planning and executing audits while ensuring that every process is aligned with current guidelines.
With Qualityze Audit Management Software you can streamline processes to:
- Create an Audit(s)
- Schedule an Audit(s)
- Preparing for Audit(s)
- Executing the Audit(s)
- Track Audit Finding(s)
- Ensure Effective Action Plan for Findings and Follow-Up
Audit Management Overview
It is no secret that regulatory requirements are becoming more stringent, and compliance costs are increasing. Additionally, audit management is becoming increasingly difficult as more audit types and numbers are required. Qualityze Auditing Management (QAu) software supports your regular audit management process. It enables you to improve quality, reduce costs, and recognize risk across the entire audit lifecycle, helping you to improve compliance and improve operational efficiency. With Qualityze Audit Management, you can effectively and efficiently:
- Manage Reusable Checklist Libraries
- Create Audit Plans
- Schedule Multi-Site Audits
- Manage Multiple Audit Programs
- Execute Audits and Track Findings
- Perform Follow-Ups / Closure
- Perform Digital Signature Validation
- Manage Audit Records


Create an Audit(s)
Creating an audit plan is the first and foremost step in the auditing process. It serves the auditors to define the objective, scope, criteria, location, and the establishment of an overall audit strategy.
The audit management and tracking software from Qualityze help to streamline the audit plan. You can use the Audit Type template to define the relevant information such as:
- Title
- The Scope of the audit
- The Objective of the audit
- Audit Criteria
- Checklist
- Lead Auditor
- Checklist
- Lead Auditor
- Audit Team
- Location
- Type of Audit and others
- Audit Schedule

Schedule an Audit(s)

The audit schedule is a specification of the planned activities that will occur over a certain period e.g., yearly, half-yearly, quarterly, etc. Most companies develop an annual schedule, usually for internal and supplier audit program. However, there could be any number of audits scheduled in an organization.
Qualityze Audit Management allows organizations to schedule their online as well as offline audits quite conveniently and efficiently.
Preparing For Audit(s)
In Qualityze, Audit Program (AP) will help you to set up a yearly plan for internal and supplier audit program in conjunction with an Audit Type. In the Audit Program you can define:
- Auditors and the Auditees
- Audit Start/End date
- Predefined Audit Questionnaire
- Audit Standards
- Audit Criteria and Others
- Prepare and Execute Audit
After defining all the elements of the Audit Program, the next step calls for the lead auditor to confirm and update the audit. The auditee and auditor should agree on the objective, scope, criteria and start date of the audit process.

Executing the Audit(s)

Once you are done with the creation of the Audit Type and Audit Program, the advanced system of Qualityze will automatically notify you in advance to prepare for the audit. You also have an option to update the individual audit for information such as:
- The Scope of the audit
- The Objective of the audit
- Audit Criteria
- Checklist
- Lead Auditor
- Audit Team
- Location
- Type of Audit and others
If there are multiple auditors performing the audit, you as a lead auditor can assign individual checklist to each auditor in the team.
Track Audit Finding(s)
During the audit, any observations – whether it is non-conformance or need better practices – needs to be recorded and tracked till completion.
In Qualityze’s Audit Management System, observations are categorized into three terms: Findings, Positive Practices, and Recommendations. The system allows you to define these observations at an individual level as well. When you categorize observation as Findings, you have an option to follow the workflow to address it. Every Finding is assigned a unique number for you to keep track off until it is closed.
