QAP – Quality Appraisal
The solution for Internal Audits Management
To support all parties involved in compliance and audits to ensure a sustainable operation and give greater maturity to organizations’ processes, products, and services, Quidgest developed QAP, its Internal Audit Management system.
MORE QUALITY WITH LESS EFFORT
Leading organizations seek to certify their operations in the various reference models and normative criteria (e.g., ISO, NIST, CMMI, PCI Council, COBIT, Regulation, Legislation). Quidgest’s QAP intends to facilitate the demanding and costly audit management process.
The system takes a holistic approach to the needs of all users, supporting all mapping, tracking, and reporting processes to ensure maximum effectiveness.

BENEFITS IN COMPLIANCE AND AUDITING PROCESSES
THE FOUR PILLARS OF QAP
MONITORING
It monitors all the conformity states. It allows the audit of several objects simultaneously according to any reference criteria and generates automatic checklists for evaluation and recording findings. Additionally, it has the advantage that auditors can attach any digital documents to their observations and conclusions.
MAPPING
The mapping between implemented controls and normative requirements is done in a matrix manner. When highlighting the degree of compliance of a control during the audit process, the degree of compliance for a series of requirements of one or more criteria is automatically highlighted, reducing auditing time and, consequently, the associated costs.
EVIDENCE & CRITERIA
It creates solid bridges between the organization’s controls/evidence and the required reference criteria, thus making it possible to monitor compliance states and notify those responsible for the implementation of corrections and/or corrective action plans to be carried out.
REPORTING
Automatically generates the audit plans and reports by referential, indicating the entire history of open non-conformities. From a management perspective, it can integrate with Power BI for an evolving and strategic vision of the organization’s degree of compliance and presents dashboards in the system for communication and dissemination to all interested parties.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Although some members can understand the great added value of introducing a new system that boosts productivity and improves results, we know that these changes presuppose a change in the activity of all internal stakeholders.
BEFORE
Sharing the added value of the change to a new system with all internal stakeholders
DURING
Training activities for all operational professionals to learn the functionalities of the new system
AFTER
Feedback sessions with the objective of continuous improvement of the implemented information system, so that it evolves according to the needs of all stakeholders
