Regulatory compliance and audit all in one system

With the CQC Essential Standards focussed on outcomes, audit is becoming increasingly important in the compliance arena. However, corporate audit systems are typically stand alone solutions based on spreadsheets or Access databases. With CIRIS for Audit, you will be able to link your audit project data directly to all your regulatory compliance activity.

Streamlining the audit process

CIRIS for Audit will help you manage the audit process from proposal right through to follow up of recommendations. Use CIRIS for Audit to:

Allow end users to log proposals directly, or upload the proposal document and enter the details centrally yourself.
Enable the audit support team to track all communications and actions agreed with stakeholders.
Record details of audit project team members and produce reports to show the level of staff participation in audit.
Pull together all your documentation relevant to the audit projects such as audit template questionnaires.
Provide a summary of key findings that can be made available for anyone in the organisation to access.
Create follow-up action plans and track these through to completion.

Book your time against the audit so that you can show how much support is being provided.
Set up committees to monitor the audit projects.
Tie all of your audit information directly with your regulatory compliance activity such as CQC, NHSLA, NICE and Information Governance.
Collate data that can usefully inform your Quality Accounts.
Migrate all the data from your existing audit system to CIRIS using the CIRIS import facility.
