certification body for international standards. Audis has accreditation from JAS-ANZ（Joint
Accreditation System of Australia & New Zealand） to ensure
impartiality and transparency. Auditors
are certified by the international auditors registration body（IRCA）and
through auditing activities shall guide the customers management system to
continuously improvement. Currently, we
are creating original food safety audit programs as acting as auditors on
behalf of a number of food companies (associations and groups) including
internationally trading Japanese food companies.
② Top
Management Introduction
There
are many ISO9001 and ISO14001 registered organizations, however there are only
few organizations that correctly use ISO in accordance with top managements
vision for the company. Furthermore, in
regard to the problem of business ethics global business management, it is
essential to manage J-SOX law as well as internal regulations. Audis promises to assist in practical
business improvements through audit activities based on international standards
in consideration of societal changes. Ecore Audit shall not request system changes by consulting but shall
establish possible improvements for the customer by non-conformities raised
through the audit. Audis shall
continue to ensure the development of transparent, impartial and professional
auditing services.
③ Expertise and Professionalism
Audis is not just a typical certification body, we also hold presentations
with international experts as well as to Governmental bodies as we have
a high reputation that is not limited to only inside Japan. Furthermore, our staff contribute to a
variety of consumer publications and have authors books such as「Acquiring
ISO9001/HACCP manual」and 「Declaration to acquire ISO22000」which
are having positive effects on our customers food safety realization. Much of Audis’s research and
international leadership is published in “Food Science” and “Monthly HACCP”
magazine as part of and effort to promote awareness from experts in the field.
④ International Standards as a Tool
International
standards are not just the next fad, they have taken root in global business
practice. Until now it has been
witnessed that many export and large corporations have been the influence
behind the ISO acquisitions, however recently a small number of organizations
and small to medium sized organizations are starting to become active strategically
as a basis for complaint prevention, increasing skill levels and increasing
productivity. Audis shall develop
audit services with trustability and knowledge in order to being organizations
to the start line to acquire international standards certification.

representatives from Audis meet with auditors from the food safety authorities
in the DCC（Dunedin City Council） for an
information exchange. 3 members from the
DCC attended: Mr Roger O’Brien /Mr Campbell Fillam/Mr Leric Harvey-Smith and
meet with Koei Miyazawa and Gavin Beath at the headquarters. The DCC explained about auditing technique
and also explained about a regional system of grading retailers for general
sanitation levels; a unsanitary condition “ D grade” judgment results in the
temporary suspension of the business. During the visit an evaluated “D grade”caferteria, judged by the DCC,
had their suspension noted in the newspaper. Audis explained about the situation of compulsory and voluntary
regulations and current developments, and HACCP/ISO22000 auditing schemes. The experiences were valuable for both
parties and were able to gain a good insight into the food safety auditing activities
of both parties.
After that we toured a chocolate factory.
