Conducting a compliance, technical or management system audit should result in findings that will help a company on many levels. Unlike a financial audit the concentrates on where the money is and went; the EHS compliance audit should identify noncompliance situations before a regulator discovers them. Therefore, rapid corrective action will save time and money to say nothing of the company legal fees and embarrassment. A technical audit is conducted to confirm that technical changes to equipment had been done correctly so as to ensure the health and safety of those who will be working in the area and protect the environment. This should eliminate unsafe conditions and the cost of corrective action. A management system audit is process oriented; and ensures that processes are in place and functioning such that unwanted shutdowns do not take place resulting in the loss of clients and revenue.
