Audits – making
sure it went as planned
A golden opportunity to improve as an organization, whether it's an internal audit, supplier audit, government audit, certification audit or project audit.
Powerful tool for
increased competitiveness
To succeed in a highly competitive market, you need to be forward-looking, adaptive, creative and willing to learn from your mistakes. Because mistakes, sub-optimizations or oversights are almost impossible to avoid when delivering complex products or services.
An audit is not about apportioning blame or singling out individual employees. On the contrary. It is about identifying requirements that are not being met, what in the individual processes or procedures is causing the shortcomings and where there is the greatest potential for improvement.
For example, if the management system is certified to a standard such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 or ISO 50001, the certification body will expect clear planning of the audits and comprehensive reporting with proposed actions.
Corrective and preventive proposals are assessed, implemented and followed up in a structured way and resource persons are engaged and kept informed. A well-functioning management system such as CANEA ONE is a great help.
Challenges
It is often difficult to get audit activities accepted and integrated as a natural improvement tool. It often becomes a separate workshop where different types of audits are handled in different "islands", which becomes cumbersome, time-consuming and difficult to manage.
This in turn makes it difficult to get both an overall picture of the business and a deeper understanding of the state of affairs. The audit becomes more of a fire-fighting exercise for the moment and less of an implementation of long-term corrective or improvement actions. And monitoring of results is often forgotten.
CANEA ONE is an important tool in daily operations, including work with controls, audits and work with deviations.

Part of a
comprehensive solution
CANEA Workflow is one of five user-friendly modules that make up our CANEA ONE platform. The modules can be used as stand-alone modules and together form a comprehensive system for efficient business management; linking strategies, projects, processes, cases and documents.
An integrated and user-friendly system
The advantage of fully integrating audit management with the management system and target management is that it makes it easier to monitor KPIs and targets and to find or link to the relevant documents in the management system that are affected by any non-conformities.
The system is configured directly in the browser using easy-to-use menus. Form layout, settings, flows, business logic and rules are set according to your own preferences and the conditions of the process in question. It does not require any IT skills and can be managed on a routine basis even by infrequent users.
Well-designed views provide an immediate overview of pending, delayed or prioritized cases. Reporting can be done via a mobile interface, which can handle attached images, and an analysis engine helps to clarify correlations and draw conclusions.
