Professional, independent auditing for your print company

As a certified organisation, whether you have any of the ISO standards, PEFC, BRC, or similar, a requirement of all of these is to conduct internal audits. The Ideas Distillery are specialists in helping companies in the printing industry to optimise the efficiency of their internal audit process.

Typically, internal audits place demands upon you, the largest of which is that at least two staff members are involved in the audit, along with the auditor and the various staff being audited. This is significantly time, process and cost hungry. 

Outsourcing the audit process to Ideas Distillery overcomes all the disadvantages of carrying out the audits yourself. The benefits of using us are that our auditors:
  • Are highly experienced and Lead Auditor trained
  • Have paper, publishing and print/media sector-specific expertise
  • Find process errors or weaknesses, and identify risk areas 
  • Understand the issues in your sector, its terminology, workflow, etc
  • Maximise the efficiency and accuracy of the audit process 
  • Define and discover real opportunities for improvement
Our audits are focused around adding value to your business by providing an independent assessment to identify improvements, assist in developing efficiencies and share best practice in the printing sector. 
​We will work with you to devise an Internal Audit plan around the standards you operate, the business processes that you run, and the Standard’s requirements to ensure that you are complying fully at all times.

We compile comprehensive reports from our audits and run through any significant findings both during and after the audit. You will get an unbiased view and a “fresh look” at your business, which is much more likely to spot errors but also opportunities to make your business better.
Our audit style is to become part of your team, forging a productive working relationship​ which is all about adding sector-specific value. Our approach is:
  • Balanced and non-judgmental
  • Team driven – friendly but authoritative 
  • Incisive and positive
The Ideas Distillery’s purpose is to provide exceptional service:
  • We monitor and organise the audit schedule with your staff 
  • Agree audit dates that work for you
  • Perform the audits to schedule
  • Produce immediate audit reports written in plain English
