Thinking Out of the Square – Down Under

At our next meeting on 27 September, we will have speakers from New Zealand Carew Hatherley, CEO of the IQM Group and his Co-director Anthony Stephenson, who will be discussing new approaches to systems auditing that they have developed.

They will describe an innovative approach to doing second part assessments of suppliers based on ISO 9004 the “business sustainability” standard. This was triggered by a need for people who work for companies who pass registered lead auditor courses but who do not do third party audits to have a constructive approach to auditing their suppliers (called Second Party Audits).
