Bensussen Deutsch & Associates Inc. and Logomark Complete Third-Party Audits
The road to accreditation begins when a QCA member endorses a self-certification that indicates it is adhering to and promoting standards of compliance that would reasonably detect and deter nonconforming practices in the manufacture and importing of promotional products.
Next, each member proceeds to the self-assessment step, a process that requires the organization to analyze all of its compliance processes to ensure they meet the common standards established by QCA. In this step, the company documents its processes and makes any organizational changes necessary to successfully pass a third-party audit. Over four days, the third-party audit of a member’s compliance-related practices is conducted by an accredited, independent organization that has not had any participation in nor any part in the self-assessment process.
