What Does The Operations Audit Include?

An operations audit analyzes the company's core processes and systems that affect how it operates. We’ll look at how these processes and systems are being managed, how they function together as a whole to drive the business forward, and whether or not they are being optimized to achieve their goals.

Your operations audit will include an analysis of the following:

Your operations process and roadmap
Your operations tools and content assets
Your operations structure
Your operations team
Your operations reporting
Your operations effectiveness

Our Process

To ensure our audits are completed effectively, we now have 6 phases for each of our projects:

Define - What are we doing here? Get clear on the objective.
Discover - What exists? Get clear on what is through research and exploration.
Discuss - How can we make this epic? Collaborate on the best possible outcome.
Develop - Do the work. Build. Create. Put it together.
Detect - What are the results? Publish intentionally and consistently. Use data to learn.
Deepen - How can we make this better? Optimize.

How do I know if I should conduct an operations audit?

Conduct an operations audit if you're considering making changes to how your business operates. For example, if you're thinking about adding a new product line or expanding into a new market, it's important to understand how well your current business model is working beforehand so that you can make informed decisions about how best to proceed.

What kind of documents should I have ready for the auditor?

Your audit checklist should include things like financial statements, customer lists, employee records, invoices and purchase orders, etc.

How much does an audit cost?

The cost of an audit depends on several factors: how big your company is, what kind of information needs to be gathered, if there are any special requests from auditors or regulatory agencies, etc.

How often should I conduct an operations audit?

The frequency of your operations audits depends on your industry and the size of your company (smaller companies often have more frequent audits). You should also consider how often your competitors conduct their own audits so that you can stay ahead of them!

How do operations audits differ from other types of audits?

Operations audits focus on your ability to meet the requirements set forth by ISO 9001, which means they are more specific than other types of audits (like financial audits).

What kinds of results should I expect from an operations audit?

If there are any problems or issues identified during the audit, the auditor will suggest solutions for overcoming them. For example: If an area isn't performing well enough according to standards set by management, then it would be recommended that changes be made.

Maximize your efficiency and profitability.
