Audit System
Audit System of American Quality Council
AQC audits quality control of Product, Services and Management of business entities with scalability, flexibility and continuous improvement through autonomous criteria and parameters as international quality control norms.
American Quality Council provides a focus on audit quality and a process of risk management with respect to quality that aims to ensure all firms have quality as a priority when performing audits and other assurance engagements. The standard is principles driven with a focus on scalability, flexibility and continuous improvement. For audits to be effective and maintain public trust they must be performed in a way that ensures firms and their personnel fulfil their responsibilities in accordance with applicable legal and professional standards.
It is imperative that audit firms adopt a culture of best practice in accordance with these standards, enabling audit partners in issuing appropriate auditor’s reports. The threats of self interest caused by increasing financial pressure on audit partners will compromise auditor reports, as will the issues of poor planning, inadequate risk assessment and lack of resources and audit evidence. The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) issues quality standards to support firms in achieving this aim. AQC audits quality control of Product, Services and Management of business entities with scalability, flexibility and continuous improvement through autonomous criteria and parameters as international quality control norms.

Process of Auditing
01
An organization may get started by contacting the AQC to sign up for the Quality in Business Certification program. They will then be provided a link to an online self-assessment system. After you complete the self-assessment an independent auditor will analyze their results. Should their organization reach the pass-mark a certificate will be issued along with their final grading. If we require additional documentation and/or a site-visit we will inform you.
02
Auditing is the on-site verification activity, such as inspection or examination, of a process or quality system, to ensure compliance with requirements. An audit can apply to an entire organization or might be specific to a function, process, or production step. This service is charged on a case-by-case basis. We suggest you make your request early, so any inconvenience may not be caused to you.

Apart from this, Iudex has collaborated with the verification process of the World Book of Records.
Assurance engagements involve three separate parties
A practitioner, a responsible party and intended users of the assurance report. The responsible party is responsible for the information on which the practitioner is engaged to give a conclusion. Preparing for third-party audits can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. However, the long-term benefits of certification and compliance far outweigh the initial investment. Virtual audits offer flexibility and reduce travel costs while maintaining the integrity of the audit process. Third-Party Audits provide significant value through certifications and external validation.
Time Frame of Quality in Business Certification
A standard assessment can take as little as 96 hours (around 6 hours for the online assessment + 3 days for our independent auditors to review your submission). Sometimes auditors may require additional supporting documents and/or a site visit. If that is the case then the process may take longer.
