LR~ex Audit & Marine Services (Pty) Ltd

LR~ex Audit & Marine Services can conduct ISM & ISPS internal audits on vessels, or at company offices.

We can assist the DPA/CSO with audits, or carry them out alone to the company's requirements.

In addition LR~ex Audit & Marine Services can conduct internal audits on the DPA/CSO department, an area which is often difficult to audit as the respective codes require the auditor to be independent of the area under audit.

As a former Class Surveyor I have carried out numerous external audits on vessels and Company offices.
My experience in external audits allows me to identify areas in the SMS or SSP which are liable to be picked up by external auditors.
It has become clear that if a company can identify problems during their internal audits and deal with them in their own time, then the external audits become less problematic and less prone to time-constrained solutions imposed by the external auditing authority, thus saving time and money.
