Our Approach
A Management System Assessment (MSA) is a systematic evaluation of an organization's management system to determine its effectiveness and compliance with standards. It involves reviewing documentation, processes, procedures, and implementation, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and improvement areas. MSAs are common for quality, environmental, and health & safety management systems. The assessment process includes document review, interviews, observations, and record verification. Findings are documented in a report outlining performance, compliance/non-compliance, and recommendations for improvement.
