Internal Auditing

TransCat Solutions Internal Auditing Service

Are you internally auditing your own systems??!! If no, why not??!!

A key element of the Heavy Vehicle National Law is Chain of Responsibility (CoR) and ensuring that companies comply with its requirements.

Companies need to know where they stand in the ’Chain’ and required responsibilities.

To achieve compliance to CoR requirements companies are required to have sound safety and management systems in place. These systems will be built:

  • at business start-up,
  • in conjunction with moving into an accredited scheme,
  • following an authority audit (heavy vehicle task force),
  • out of necessity, or the business has grown to a point where the need to present in a more professional manner to either meet new client requirements or attract better contracts
