The Problem With Most Audit Programs
These Are the Audit Challenges That Derail Compliance. Sound Familiar?
Audits are the engine of your quality system, but only when findings actually lead to improvement.
Here’s what gets in the way.
Ad Hoc Scheduling That Slips
Audit schedules live in someone’s head or a shared calendar no one maintains. Audits get pushed, delayed, or forgotten until a surveillance visit is two weeks out. Then it’s all hands on deck.
Findings That Disappear
The audit report gets written, filed, and never touched again. There’s no system to convert findings into corrective actions, no owner, no due date, no verification that anything actually changed.
No Standard Checklist Process
Different auditors use different checklists. Some import from last year’s audit, some build from scratch. There’s no consistency across sites, departments, or audit cycles, and ISO doesn’t accept “we did our best.”
Audit Prep Scrambles
When an external auditor asks for your audit records, your team scrambles to pull documents from multiple systems: SharePoint folders, email attachments, paper binders. The record is incomplete, and it shows.
Audits Disconnected From CAPA
Your audit module and your CAPA module are different systems with no link between them. Moving a finding to a corrective action requires manual re-entry, and things get lost in translation.
Compliance Gaps Go Undetected
Without a systematic audit program, process gaps and compliance risks accumulate between external audits. By the time an ISO auditor finds them, it’s a major nonconformance instead of an observation.
If any of these sound familiar, the issue isn’t your quality team. It’s the architecture of the system they’re working in.
QMS|share fixes the architecture.
What QMS|share Audit Management Does
A Closed-Loop Audit System Built Inside the Tools Your Team Already Uses
QMS|share audit management software gives your quality team a complete, SharePoint-native audit program, from scheduling and checklists through findings, nonconformances, and corrective action follow-through. Every step of the audit lifecycle lives in one system, governed by your existing Microsoft 365 permissions, surfaced in Microsoft Teams, and connected to the rest of your quality management data.

How the Audit Process Works in QMS|share
From Schedule to Closure: One Connected Workflow
QMS|share handles every stage of the audit lifecycle inside a single SharePoint-native system.
Here’s how an audit moves from planning through corrective action closure.
Schedule the Audit
Prepare the Checklist
The auditor accesses a standards-based checklist from the QMS|share template library: pre-built to the relevant ISO clause structure, or customized to your internal process. No hunting through folders or reformatting last year’s file.
Execute & Document

The Full QMS|share Platform
Audits Are One Part of a Unified Quality System
Audits surface findings. Findings create nonconformances. Nonconformances trigger corrective actions. Corrective actions sometimes require formal changes. QMS|share connects all four quality modules so records, workflows, and corrective actions flow between them without manual handoffs.
Document Control
Audit checklists reference controlled documents in real time. When a finding identifies a document gap, the Document Control module is where the revision lifecycle begins.
Nonconformance & Corrective Action
Audit findings classified as nonconformances automatically generate NC/CA records. The entire corrective action lifecycle (seven stages from assignment to closure) starts the moment the auditor documents the finding.
Management of Change
Audit findings that identify process gaps often prompt formal change requests. QMS|share connects the audit finding to the MOC record so the change is traceable back to what the audit uncovered.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About QMS|share Audit Management
What is audit management software?
Audit management software helps organizations plan, schedule, execute, and document audits, and track findings through to resolution. In a quality context, it replaces ad hoc spreadsheets with a structured, repeatable process aligned to ISO 9001, with configurable templates for other standards. QMS|share does this natively inside Microsoft 365, with automatic connection to NC/CA so findings lead to accountable corrective action.
How does QMS|share connect audit findings to corrective action?
When an auditor classifies a finding as a nonconformance, QMS|share automatically creates a linked nonconformance record in the NC/CA module. No manual handoff, no re-entry. The nonconformance moves through a seven-stage NC/CA workflow from assignment to closure, with overdue items surfacing in MYQueue so nothing stalls unnoticed.
Does QMS|share support ISO 9001 internal audit requirements?
Yes. QMS|share is built to support ISO 9001 Clause 9.2, which requires planned internal audits to verify QMS conformance and effective implementation. The system provides scheduled audit programs, ISO 9001 clause-aligned checklists, finding documentation, and automatic corrective action triggering, satisfying both the Clause 9.2 requirement and the continual improvement intent of Clause 10.
Does QMS|share require a separate software license?
No. QMS|share runs inside your existing Microsoft 365 subscription. No additional platform license is required. Abel Solutions provides implementation and configuration as a service. You are not paying a per-seat SaaS subscription to a separate QMS vendor.
How long does it take to deploy QMS|share audit management?
QMS|share, including the Audits module, is built for a fast time to launch. Because the system runs inside your existing Microsoft 365 environment, there’s no infrastructure setup, no migration to a third-party platform, and no new UI for your team to learn.
What’s the difference between QMS|share and standalone audit management software?
Standalone audit software is a separate platform with its own login, data silo, and vendor relationship. QMS|share lives inside Microsoft 365: audit records, findings, and NC/CA connections are in SharePoint under your existing Microsoft Entra ID governance, connected to the other QMS|share modules. No additional vendor. No data leaving your tenant.
What audit standards does QMS|share support?
QMS|share supports ISO 9001:2015 (Clause 9.2) with pre-built clause-aligned checklist templates. For other standards, you can configure your own standards-based audit templates. The system is also configurable for custom internal process audit programs. Abel Solutions configures your audit templates and scope during implementation.
