A key strength for Equal Assurance, and a strategic advantage for its audit practices, is that such practices maintain direct responsibility for and ownership of the client and the services provided, with a business model that ensures superior rates of return. This is graphically represented as follows:

Equal Assurance is constantly looking to expand on its membership. If you have an established or emerging audit practice anywhere in the world and are looking to join a strong and progressive certification body, we would like to hear from you. In particular we will as a minimum need to know:

• the name of your practice;
• the contact information for your practice;
• the number of years your practice has been in business;
• any marketing material, including website information;
• whether the practice owner(s) are “fit and proper people”;
• arrangements with any other certification bodies;
• experience in the markets you are looking to service;
• the range of assurance programs you seek to provide;
• evidence of auditor competencies (eg: RABQSA/IRCA);
• expected revenues in the first year of operation; and
• expected timing to establish the basis of arrangements.

We will assess this information and, if suitable (as strict entrance and performance criteria shall apply), provide you with a copy of our Practice Charter, providing more details on the basis of arrangements. Following this, Special Terms will be established where needed, detailing any special requirements either party may have in doing business. Once this is agreed, we will provide training for you to log into Qdos (our online data-operating system), upload information and commence work. To find out more about how you can become an auditor, feel free to contact us.
