"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.

VALUE ADDED AUDITING SOLUTIONS
Quality Plus Engineering (QPE) wrote the book on VALUE ADDED AUDITING. See reviews
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

QPE is the first company to integrate risk and ISO 9000 audits into a new form of Value Added Auditing assessment.
