What the firm does
Management systems built, audited and certified — and the regulatory compliance work that sits underneath them.
Implementation and certification
Single site or multi-site, across all six standards. Gap analysis, documentation, implementation, internal audit and readiness for the certification body.
Multi-site programs are scoped using group certification and sampling where the standard permits it — usually cheaper for the client than site-by-site certification, and it produces a system that is genuinely common rather than nominally so.
Transition to revised standards
Documentation alignment against the new edition, interpretation of the revised requirements, internal auditor requalification, and support through the transition audit.
Four standards are moving in the same planning cycle. The transition page sets out where each one stands.
Regulatory compliance
Instrument-level legal registers, compliance audits and remediation planning across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Formal regulatory qualification in six countries, and the regulation read in Spanish and Portuguese in the original rather than in translated summary — which is where the prescriptive detail that creates exposure tends to be lost.
Training and capacity development
Internal auditor training, management system awareness, compliance evaluation and structured problem solving. Delivered in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
Priced per cohort rather than per head, and the material stays with the client so the capability outlasts the engagement.
Second and third-party auditing
Supplier audits, internal audit programs run on behalf of a corporate function, and compliance evaluation against a named legal register.
Also validation and verification work — RC14001 and RCMS, SA 8000 social accountability, and sustainability assessment under Together for Sustainability.
Corrective action systems
Root cause analysis and engineered corrective-action frameworks addressing the recurrence problem directly — the same non-conformance appearing at successive surveillance audits because the correction addressed the instance rather than the cause.
How work is quoted
Fixed fee, confirmed before anything starts
No hourly billing and no variation unless the scope changes. What the fee depends on is the number of sites, the countries they sit in, and which standards and regulatory instruments are in play — a single-standard project at three domestic sites and a three-standard project across two countries are different pieces of work, and publishing one number for both would be misleading.
Deliverables are provided in English, Spanish or Portuguese at no additional charge. Most work is delivered remotely, with on-site verification available as a priced addition.
