Frequently asked questions

Can the audits be combined?
We can agree a combined scope after reviewing the vessel, operating schedule and your audit requirements.
Does an internal audit provide statutory certification?
No. Internal audits help the company assess its own systems. Statutory verification and certification are separate processes carried out by the relevant administration or authorised body.
