Quality assessment
|
On the basis of the “Audit
Program” approved annually, internal audits are carried out in the departments
of the Office and in the local statistical bodies where the GIS is applied.
Audit teams are formed to conduct audits and an individual audit plan is
approved for each structural unit. The audit team conducts inspections in
accordance with the audit plan. Internal monitoring of quality aspects in the
State Statistics Committee is carried out in a centralized manner by the authorized
structural unit (Quality Management and Metadata Department) and an annual
“Analysis by Management” document is prepared and submitted to the management
based on the results of audits. The members of the audit team (auditors) are
instructed before each audit by the auditor general, as well as through
seminars organized at least once a year. The activity of the State Statistics
Committee is “Quality management systems. Requirements ”ISO 9001: 2015 is one
of the strongest strengths. Increased workload due to incomplete transition to
electronic documentation and parallel paperwork, late adaptation of staff
(employees) to the requirements of the new standards are the weakest
weaknesses.
