New: QPE has written or has

"YOUR BEST ASSESSMENT TOOL"
Quality Digest called Value Added Auditing
"Your Best Assessment Tool."
What is Value Added Auditing? We need to define
value and what
adds value.
All organizations exist to add value to their stakeholders. Value is added when
products and services satisfy critical organizational stakeholders. Value
is added when citizens can feel peace of mind See 'Club
Fed' VAA workshop ad.
Value can mean different things to different stakeholders. Value to shareholders means raising stock value. Value to management means no surprises. Value to regulatory authorities is compliance to laws and regulations using COSO ERM. Value to ISO 9000 companies means conducting 'effectiveness' and 'process' audits. There are many drivers to value added auditing.
An example of the importance of Value Added Auditing is that on August 1, 2002, the New York Stock Exchange required its listed companies to have internal audit departments. These departments conduct value added audits that more often report solid line to the Board of Directors.

Quality Plus Engineering
is a business and technology consultancy that delivers explicit business
management outcomes and risk assurance solutions.
The auditing environment has changed dramatically after the Enron financial collapse and the September 11, 2001 disaster. These two events defined and put value added auditing on the radar screen of all governmental agencies, public companies, and US citizens.
QUALITY PLUS ENGINEERING - NATIONAL VALUE ADDED
AUDITING LEADER
Quality Plus Engineering (QPE) has been in the national forefront of new
risk/control, analytical assessments. QPE is the first company to integrate risk
and ISO 9000 audits into a new form of Value Added Auditing assessment. Read the March
2001, Quality Progress cover article.
We believe the primary reason is companies want more value from their audits.
