CIS Auditing System
Plan, Perform and Complete Audits in Real Time
CIS brings audit planning, questionnaires, evidence, findings, scoring, actions and follow-up into one connected system so the audit record is being completed while the audit is actually taking place.
Built for practical auditing
Everything needed to plan, perform and control an audit
CIS can support formal internal audits, supplier audits and recurring inspections without forcing your organization into one rigid audit method.
Flexible questionnaires
Use the included audit questionnaires, modify them, simplify them or build your own for departments, processes, suppliers, safety checks or specialized requirements.
Audit planning and scheduling
Schedule one-time or recurring audits, assign auditors and attendees, select procedures and standards, and place audits automatically on calendars and To Do Lists.
Conduct the audit live
Work question by question while entering findings, comments, observations, scores and supporting evidence directly into the audit record.
Create actions immediately
Create audit actions from the exact audit question where the issue was found. CIS carries information forward and links the action back to the audit automatically.
Audit execution
Capture objective evidence while the audit is happening
The auditor does not need to keep separate notes and rebuild the audit later. Findings, documents, photographs, observations and supporting records can be entered as the evidence is reviewed.
- Enter findings, comments and observations.
- Upload documents, photographs and supporting records.
- Record scores against individual audit questions.
- Create nonconformities, observations and corrective actions immediately.
- Continue directly to the next audit question after assigning an action.
Lessons learned
Turn past audit findings into organizational knowledge
Audit questions and findings can be added to a company-wide Lessons Learned library so employees can search previous issues, observations and improvements instead of repeatedly solving the same problems.
Real-time control
See audit performance and outstanding actions without waiting for the final report
Authorized users can follow the audit as it progresses and see what has been completed, what has been found and what still requires action.
Automatic follow-up
Audit actions do not disappear after the closing meeting
CIS places assigned actions on the responsible employee’s To Do List, sends notifications, tracks due dates and identifies late actions. Management can see what remains open and who is responsible.
Supplier audits
Extend audit control beyond your own facility
Supplier audit actions can be assigned directly to the supplier and automatically emailed. Depending on your process, suppliers can respond by email or receive controlled access to enter root cause, corrective action and completion information.
- Link audit activity to the selected supplier.
- Assign supplier corrective actions directly from the audit.
- Track supplier responses and completion.
- Use supplier auditing as part of broader vendor-performance control.
Beyond internal audits
Use the same system for recurring inspections and business reviews
Because CIS is questionnaire-based, the Auditing System can be adapted to many repeatable inspection, checklist and review processes.
The main advantage
Eliminate the gap between performing the audit and writing up the audit
By the time the auditor finishes, the evidence, findings, scores, actions, assignments and follow-up are already in place. That saves administrative time and gives management immediate visibility into audit performance.
