How to get more value from your internal audits


FREE Article - taking a risk-based approach
Internal audits are - or at least they should be - an important feeback mechanism for management systems. However, many organisations fail to use them in the most cost-effective manner. By taking a risk-based approach, you can get much more value from your internal audit programme while using your time and resources in a more cost-effective manner. The Qudos web site includes a new article on the subject: Taking a risk-based approach to internal audits (PDF).

Internal Auditor Training in February - only $495
For many years, Qudos has offered internal auditor training courses on both quality and integrated management systems. In the past, these have always been group bookings for a single customer, and held at their own premises. In November, we offered our first public session at our new training facility in Brisbane CBD. This was a great success, and was heavily over-subscribed. We are delighted to announce the next session on 28th February.

If you would like to learn how to get more value from internal audits, at a 1-day certified course, this is the perfect opportunity.

Qudos System 3 Update News
In line with our quarterly update policy, a new version of Qudos System 3 is scheduled for release at the end of January 2008. The focus of this update is a technology change to a later version of the Microsoft .net framework - which will allow us to offer enhanced functionality and faster-loading pages in future updates. This release also features numerous improvements to the Meetings module, and auto-completion of actions when raised from other modules.

Existing Qudos System 3 customers need take no action at this point - we will contact you during January to liaise updating your installation.

Others may contact us now for further information, and to discuss how we can help you to better compliance and risk management.
