Accredited Third-Party Audit Services for Compliance and Performance
Quality Calibration Solutions (QCS) provides independent, third-party audit services designed to give organizations a clear, impartial, and expert assessment of their management systems, processes, and compliance status. Our accredited audits are essential for verifying conformity to international standards, meeting regulatory requirements, and driving continual improvement. We provide the objective evidence and actionable insights needed to reduce risk, enhance operational efficiency, and build profound trust with customers, regulators, and stakeholders.
Our audit programs are conducted by certified lead auditors in accordance with ISO 19011, the global standard for auditing management systems, ensuring the utmost integrity and professionalism.

Why is an Independent Third-Party Audit Critical?
In any organization, it is difficult to assess your own performance objectively. An independent audit provides an external, expert perspective that is crucial for true risk management and performance improvement. It is a foundational element of good governance and operational excellence.
Providing Objective Verification and Credibility
An internal review, while valuable, can be subject to internal biases, politics, or a simple lack of awareness of “what good looks like.” A third-party audit by a certified, independent body provides an impartial, fact-based assessment that stakeholders can trust. This external validation is critical for demonstrating the true health of your systems and building credibility with customers, investors, and regulatory agencies.
Ensuring Robust Regulatory and Standards Compliance
The primary function of many audits is to verify compliance. Whether it’s adhering to the technical requirements of an ISO standard, the safety mandates of OSHA, or the environmental regulations of the EPA, an audit is the formal process of checking performance against requirements. It systematically identifies any gaps in compliance, allowing you to take corrective action before a regulator finds the problem, thereby preventing fines, sanctions, and reputational damage.
Identifying Systemic Risks and Opportunities for Improvement
A well-executed audit goes far beyond a simple compliance checklist. It is a deep dive into your processes that can uncover hidden systemic risks—weaknesses in procedures, gaps in training, or inconsistencies in execution—that could lead to future failures. More importantly, expert auditors can identify significant opportunities for improvement, highlighting areas where streamlined processes, better resource allocation, or new technology could lead to major gains in efficiency, quality, and profitability.
Meeting Stakeholder and Supply Chain Requirements
In today’s interconnected economy, audits are a key part of doing business. Major customers, particularly in sectors like aerospace, automotive, and defense, frequently require their suppliers to undergo second-party audits to ensure their quality systems are robust. Investors are increasingly demanding third-party audits of environmental and safety programs as part of ESG due diligence. An independent audit report is often the passport needed to enter new markets and secure key contracts.

- On-Site Fieldwork: The core of the audit involves a combination of three evidence-gathering techniques: interviewing personnel, observing processes in action, and reviewing records.
- Analysis & Finding Development: The audit team consolidates all evidence, analyzes it against the audit criteria, and develops clear, evidence-backed findings.
- Reporting: We conduct a closing meeting to present the findings and deliver a comprehensive, formal audit report.
- Follow-up & Verification: Where required, we follow up to verify that effective corrective actions have been implemented to address any identified non-conformities.

Frequently Asked Questions about Audits
A first-party audit is an internal audit, conducted by an organization on itself. A second-party audit is an external audit, typically conducted by a customer on its supplier. A third-party audit is an external audit conducted by an independent, impartial organization (like QCS or a certification body) to verify conformity to a standard.
A non-conformity is a failure to meet a requirement. It is a documented instance where objective evidence shows that a specific clause of a standard, a legal regulation, or one of the company’s own procedures has not been followed.
The best preparation is to ensure your system is working as intended every day. Before the audit, ensure all relevant documentation is organized and available, and inform your key personnel about the schedule so they are prepared for interviews. Honesty and transparency are key to a successful audit.
After the audit, your organization is responsible for developing and implementing a corrective action plan to address any non-conformities that were identified. This typically involves investigating the root cause of the issue and putting controls in place to prevent it from happening again.
