Why Two Types of Software for Internal Control Audits?

Both of our solutions for conducting internal control audits help companies assure audit quality control. The reason we offer two solutions has to do primarily with a company's size. Large companies have different needs when it comes to audit software than smaller companies.

MasterControl QAAD™ Provides Audit Software to Meet the Complex Needs for Internal Control Audits of Large Companies

MasterControl QAAD is a centralized and Web-based solution for conducting an internal control audit that provides the flexibility and quality control needed by organizations that have multiple products and facilities, often in international locations.

MasterControl QAAD provides many standardized internal control audit reports to meet the needs of large companies, most importantly, the GLP-required Master Schedule and QA Statement, and the GCP Compliance Statement.

MasterControl's Internal Control Audits Assures a State of Continuous Quality and "Audit Readiness"

Smaller companies, even though many have multiple facilities, may not need software for internal control audits that provide the complex functionality that MasterControl QAAD provides. It goes without saying that the advanced functionality would be nice to have, but what these companies really need, for now, anyway, is software for conducting an internal control audit that assures quality and minimizes risk by ensuring a continuous state of "audit readiness". For these companies, MasterControl Audit is the ideal choice.

MasterControl's internal control audit solution consist of centralized, Web-based software that automates the scheduling of recurring audit-related activities, provides audit tracking and reporting, and automated task assignment and follow-up.

Both Internal Control Audit Solutions can be Integrated with Other MasterControl Quality Solutions

Both internal control audit solutions that we offer can be seamlessly integrated other solutions in the MasterControl Quality Suite, solutions such as document control, change control, CAPA, training control and supplier management, to name but a few of the quality solutions available in an internal control audit suite.
