How are you today?

[trialbyerror]

Sounds like you are busy busy Dukkie

I make light. Yes it is.

The Auditor's can abort the audit if there is more than 1 non-compliance.

If the audit is aborted, the company stands to loose R50 000.00 (R25 000 for the aborted audit and R25 000 for the re-audit).

If I cannot rectify the non-compliance within the stipulated time-frame (usually a week or two) the company looses it's listing (suspended)

Many of our customer's require us to be ISO compliant therefore in turn we would then loose their business (certainly until we where re-listed).

So yes, pressure.

This is how it goes.

We (me and the 2 auditors) go into the boardroom, I give them the answers to all their questions, which have to be backed up by documents.

Then they go out into the factory, / offices separate from each other, corner a random senior manager to go with the one auditor, I go with the other and they confirm that the pretty picture that I presented in the boardroom is actually the case.

From there they spend time alone together, confer, then discuss what they actually found on in the factory, and if the before and after don't match then things go belly-up very quickly.....:eek:

My principals are German.....:eek:

It's a big deal I promise you....
