Preparing for External Audit

One of my favourite clients is currently in the final throes of preparation for their recertification audit, and it's brought back all sorts of memories of the panic and flap which 'external audit' used to engender in the companies I have worked in.  One of the things I am really keen to do with my client base is to remove the need for panic and to help them look at audit not as a chance to be hammered or caught out but as a chance to showcase their skills.  I know this particular company will fly through their audit and I am looking forward to hearing the outcome at the end of next week.  Go for it guys!
