Internal Audit and Control

At Aromsa, the internal control system is of critical importance for clearly measuring and maximizing the performance in meeting established standards and legal requirements. At Aromsa, internal audits of integrated management systems are planned at the beginning of each year by the Quality Assurance Department through the QDMS (Quality Document Management System) audit module and implemented throughout the year.

Within the scope of internal audits, we conduct process-based audits every year with an audit team of nearly 50 qualified internal auditors.

We regularly report internal audit results and initiate corrective and preventive actions (CPA) based on the findings from audits. We continuously improve the audit system and institutionalize the audit culture by taking into account the feedback from our employees. The risks identified as a result of internal audits are addressed by using a systematic, documented and continuously improved structure that is aligned with the corporate risk management procedure. This structure also supports Aromsa’s sustainability efforts in achieving its goals.

Aromsa undergoes approximately 20 external audits every year that are conducted by legal authorities, customers or impartial certification bodies. During the reporting period, all processes from the design process to raw material input, from the production process to product shipment were audited, and the audits were completed successfully without any critical or major findings.

At Aromsa, internal audit and control function is not limited to “detect defects,” instead it is rather considered as a strategic tool that supports corporate development. By adopting a proactive internal audit approach that is integrated into governance, we aim to achieve a more efficient, sustainable and high-quality structure within the organization.
