Dont be caught with your
pants down! Run your business as if there will be an audit every day.
It is my humble opinion that
well run businesses do not need audits. However, then comes the real world. I
must admit that I cannot remember having been a business where audits were
not beneficial - WHEN DONE CORRECTLY.
I give credit to scheduled
audits (at least in some companies) for ensuring a certain level of
discipline in performance.
