GOAL AND OBJECTIVES:

The Environmental Management System (EMS) audit is based on the generic concept of auditing. Simply put, an audit, any audit, is the comparison of actual conditions to expected conditions, and a determination as to whether one is in conformance or not in conformance. This is the same philosophy used to perform financial, quality, regulatory compliance, and systems audits. It is prudent to first review what the common elements are in order to better understand why audits are different.

EMS sets objectives to ensure techno-genic and safety of a company and protect from natural and man-made impacts. EMS requires performing environmental audits to ensure compliance with the standards and requirements of a company.
