Abstract
Project areas and departments to be audited are typically determined on the basis of Quality professionals’ experience and judgement as opposed to a systematic value added approach to quality auditing in companies from oil and gas industry. Purpose of this paper is to layout and discuss a systematic and value added risk based approach to quality auditing that can provide significant cost savings (from thousands to millions of US dollars depending on size of companies and projects in oil and gas industry) and companies can get more value out of their quality auditing program.
