Audit is the independent part of quality management.
As system auditors we sample and examine evidence of how well the system is helping employees to understand and fulfill requirements and report the results to management to secure any necessary improvements.
Necessary improvements may include leadership where its absence has led to requirements being marginalized or discounted. Such leadership exposes and explains the price of nonquality and chooses to invest in quality culture, inputs, system, processes, services, products and outcomes.
Consequently, quality is seen as the cheapest and fastest option. Admittedly some organizations still think quality is the most expensive option so they pay an even higher price and slow down delivery with independent testing and inspection.
