We audit all sizes of organizations and types of suppliers.
Our BWG Team is a network of experienced resources in numerous industries. We gather and document objective evidence to ensure you understand the severity of the issues, whether they be minor or major. We use a variety of audit checklists and audit techniques to ensure that every requirement is covered (whether it is your requirement, a customer requirement, a regulatory requirement or a certification requirement). Our audit scopes are developed with your complete participation and approval. We are not a “check-the-box” team of Experts. Instead, we create a customized audit plan based on your audit scope, timing and budget.
Our comprehensive Audit Report Includes:
Strengths, Areas of Concern (Observations), Areas of Non-Compliance (Findings) and Opportunities for Improvement (OFIs). Our suggested actions for improvement come from our many years of experience. We will give you benchmarking ideas and a roadmap for implementation. Our focus is on providing you, your suppliers or your customers with real-time information about the performance of the audited organization. We understand that compliance with requirements is non-negotiable and our team will bring the organization back in to compliance within an expedited time frame.
