5. WHY COMPANIES NEED AN
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT ?
• Audit and evaluate a company's environmental
impact on a larger scale.
• Ensuring adherence to environmental
legislation is the primary objective of
environmental audits.
• Standardizing these compliance standards
across the organization requires the use of
environmental audits.
• Establish whether the organization has
sufficient channels of communication for
environmental compliance.

7. SCOPE OF ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
• Prime objective – To test the adequacy of
existing management systems.
• Fulfill a fundamentally different role from
the monitoring of environmental
performance.
• Audits can address one topic, or a whole
range of issues.

8. • The greater the scope of the audit, the greater will be the size of the audit team, the time
spent onsite and the depth of investigation.
• Where international audits need to be carried out by a central team, there can be good
reasons for covering more than one area while onsite to minimize costs.
• The scope of an audit can vary from simple compliance testing to a more rigorous
examination, depending on the perceived needs of the management.
• The technique is applied not only to operational environmental, health and safety
management, but increasingly also to product safety and product quality management,
and to areas such as loss prevention.
• If the intention of auditing is to help ensure that these broad areas are managed
properly, then all of these individual topics must be reviewed.

9. CONCLUSION
• The term environmental audit means
different things to different people.
• Terms such as assessment, survey and
review are used to describe the same
type of activity.
