Value to Client:
- The Client executed consistent high quality audits by involving experienced professional in-country convergence auditors across its worldwide operations. convergence provided country auditors with a special technical expertise to augment the Client’s internal audit team, enabling a rigorous review of operations the Client deemed a risk or potential liability.
- The Client was able to reduce the size of audit teams by about one-third, reducing costs and the logistical burden on the auditees.
- The convergence resources helped the Client consider audit findings from a more systematic perspective, focusing recommendations and subsequent activities on company-wide improvements.
- convergence country auditors reduced communication gaps with the auditee with their bilingual skills, and ensured the audit team understood and appreciated regional and country practices or culture.
- With the growth and maturation of the Client’s engagement with convergence, there is now a global network of EHS professionals that understand the Client’s culture, systems and audit program. convergence resources can work as a seamless part of the Client’s EHS audit teams without the Client’s expense or burden of adding additional in-house resources.
