Yes, of course, Orion Canada Inc. performs quality audits; all quality consultants do that! But, Orion Canada does more than just assessing compliance to a standard. Using years of experience implementing, managing and auditing quality processes and management systems, Orion Canada focuses their process assessments and audits on adding value to the organization. Orion Canada assessments identify opportunities to improve efficiency, effectiveness and customer satisfaction based on best practices. Orion Canada auditors hold the highest industry auditor credentials and have audited hundreds of organizations. Don’t settle for a box checker. Demand value from your internal audits, supplier audits and process assessments!

Outsourced Internal Audits

Orion Canada professional auditors can provide your organization with internal audits that deliver value to management, integrity to your management system and savings to your bottom-line!

You may choose to have Orion Canada perform a single internal audit or you can completely outsource the internal audit function. These internal audits identify opportunities for improvement, verify compliance to the corporate processes, and assess compliance to applicable standards and regulations (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 27001, AS9100, AS9110, ISO 13485, Health Canada’s Medical Device Regulations, FDA Quality System Regulations, MDSAP, EU Medical Device Regulations, and CE Mark). Several Orion Canada auditors also perform audits as subcontractors to accredited registrars. We know the standards and we know how to audit!

Orion Canada’s professional internal audit services include:

• Scheduling and coordinating the audit
• Performing value-added onsite internal audits
• Preparing the electronic audit report and submitting it within five business days of the completion of the audit
• Maintaining the internal audit schedule

Supplier Audits

Orion Canada can plan, conduct and report audits of your supply chain. We have also performed many audits of potential suppliers, including aerospace, medical device, manufacturing, software and call centers. If you would like cost effective and professional supplier audits, contact Orion Canada for a proposal.

Second Party and Channel Program Audits

Following the lead of the General Motors, Ford and Cisco Systems, many organizations now outsource their second-party audits of suppliers and distribution chains. These independent and professional audits have proven to be more cost effective and value-added than those performed by company staff.

Remote Audits

Even prior to the travel restrictions of 2020, Orion Canada was performing remote audits for some clients. Orion Canada auditors were the first hired to perform audits for Cisco's award-winning Channel Partner Program in 1999. And, Orion Canada auditors were there when Cisco technology and Webex were first applied to audits. Technology has advanced, and Orion Canada has completed hundreds of remote audits for numerous accredited registrars, second party clients, and internal audits to many standards.

All of our audits comply with standards for remote auditing, including:

• IAF ID 12:2015 (Issue 1) Principles on Remote Assessment

• IAF MD 4:2018 (Issue 2) IAF Mandatory Document for the Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Auditing/Assessment Purposes

• ISO 19011:2018 (Issue 3) Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems

Orion Canada's remote audit service includes audit planning (including remote audit contingency planning), identification of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and reporting in compliance with remote auditing standards.
