Internal Audit / Gap Analysis – Different Purpose & Approach

Internal Audits are essential tools in the maintenance of Quality Systems and are used to measure our progress and compliance with those systems on at least and annual basis.

A Gap Analysis is used to measure where your quality system may not be completely meeting the Standards that you are trying to be or are currently accredited to.

These two tools complement one another but have a different approach and use.  This Webinar will present some ideas on how to use these tools and their proper use to strengthen your systems.
