Audits are a vital tool for management to help them in these areas

1.Verify processes

2.Assess successful process implementation – once a process has been implemented, an audit can help make sure that it was successfully implemented and is doing what it should

3.Judge effectiveness of target levels – when target levels are set, audits can then look and see if the target levels are effective in helping to achieve quality processes

4.Reduce and eliminate problem areas – audits can look at the system as a whole and find areas that are causing problems and either reduce the problem or eliminate it altogether

5.Report non-conformance and corrections – audits help to show where processes are not being followed and tell what was done to correct the non-conformance

6.Report good practices – audits should not just be used to find problems, but should also be used to see the things that are working properly and how that is helping

7.Continual improvement – the overall goal of an audit is to find what is and isn’t working in the system so that the system can continually be improved
