INDEPENDENCE

Where we audit, and where we do not.

Goldline does not conduct internal audits of management systems it implemented. An internal audit that reports on the implementer's own work is not an audit, and a certification body reviewing your clause 9.2 evidence will see that immediately. Our internal audit clients are organisations we did not implement for.

Preparation is a different question. A Pre-Certification Readiness Audit is a rehearsal, not an assurance opinion, so we run those for our own implementation clients as a matter of course. The distinction is the one your certification body draws: preparing for an audit is support, forming an independent opinion on the system is assurance, and the same party should not do both.

Internal audit independence is maintained. Where Goldline has implemented the management system, internal audit scope is agreed at engagement to preserve the separation your certification body expects.

The same senior practitioner delivers every stage.

Certification body audit fees are billed separately and pass through at cost. GRC platform subscriptions are billed separately; where Goldline supplies the platform as a partner, the price is confirmed in writing before purchase and you are free to buy direct instead.

The same work, read through your sector

What a buyer asks for differs by sector. These pages set out what the requirement usually looks like and which programme answers it.
