ISO 31000 is a universal standard for risk management that provides guidelines and principles for managing risks effectively in organizations of all types and sizes. It helps organizations establish a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, treating, and monitoring risks that could affect their objectives. ISO 31000 aims at making better decisions considering the uncertainties inherent in life in order to better achieve your business objectives. It emphasizes the importance of integrating risk management into an organization’s overall governance, strategy, and decision-making processes. It promotes continuous improvement in the risk management processes and enhances the organization’s ability to anticipate and respond to risks effectively. ISO 31000 aims to connect risk management with decision-making and performance, enabling businesses to embed best practices into their daily operations and extend them to broader aspects of organizational activities.

IQC’s ISO 31000 audit services involve a structured assessment of an organization’s risk management system to determine its alignment with the requirements outlined in the ISO 31000 standard.

Our main objective is to detect any non-conformities or areas for enhancement within the risk management system. This enables your organization to implement corrective measures and control mechanisms to maintain compliance with ISO 31000.
