Clarity is essential in the world of Quality Assurance to ensure mutual understanding and acceptance. ADAMAS Consulting believes in open and transparent communication both internally and externally. The quality of being unimpaired; soundness. Unity; wholeness.In our privileged role as auditors, we have access to highly confidential material and it is therefore imperative that everyone within the company maintains the highest standards of integrity. We strongly believe in respect for the individual and this is demonstrated in all our activities with our clients, auditees and colleagues. Excellence is a part of our culture and essential for the success of a service organisation. We have an internal quality system with a focus on continuous improvements to meet the challenges of the consulting world. The choice available to me was either a freelance clinical auditor, or an auditor within the QA department of a large CRO. I found that the number of freelance auditors with the necessary skills and capability was limited. Those that were suitably experienced were usually booked-up for 6 months and would not be able to help me with my immediate (usually urgently) need. The large CROs could provide highly skilled individuals at short notice, but there were conflict of interest issues. Most CROs are unhappy (understandably) to be audited by a competitor CRO.
