documents of the quality management system were redesigned in accordance with
the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001:2015. According to the

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.
