Axosomatic Quality Audit

Built on Leadership, Experience, and Academic Excellence

Developed by two former higher education leaders, a Vice Chancellor and a Director of Quality Assurance and Institutional Effectiveness, our external audit framework draws on extensive expertise in academic excellence.

We go beyond the scope of internal audits to deliver an independent, holistic review of the entire academic and operational landscape, ensuring that every aspect of institutional performance contributes to sustained excellence and accreditation readiness.

How We Help Institutions

Our AQA is based on Lean Six Sigma and the DMAIC methodologies.

It consists of 6 steps: review, analyze, improve, and control.

Audit Scope

Governance & Leadership, Strategic Plan, Operational Plan, Academic Programs, QA&IE framework, Student Affairs and Support Services, Research and Innovation, Human Resources, Finance and Resource Management, Facilities and IT, Community Engagement & Sustainability, Institutional Research and Data Management.

Compliance Assessment

Our team conducts a thorough assessment of your organization’s processes and practices to verify alignment with relevant standards, regulations, and international best practices, as well as your own quality policies and procedures. We assess how effectively these systems are implemented, monitored, and improved, providing clear insights and actionable recommendations to enhance performance.

Analysis and Results

We analyze verification results using Lean Six Sigma and the DMAIC methodology to identify deficiencies, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies in organizational processes. Through this data-driven approach, we uncover root causes, eliminate waste, and provide targeted recommendations that enhance quality, optimize performance, and support continuous improvement across all institutional functions.

Root Cause Analysis

When non-conformities or issues are identified during the AQA process, we conduct a detailed root-cause analysis to identify the underlying factors contributing to the problem. This systematic approach ensures that corrective and preventive actions are not only reactive but strategic, addressing the source of the issue, strengthening internal controls, and preventing recurrence.

Improvement Actions

We provide you with a comprehensive report of our external audit findings, highlighting specific areas of improvement and offering a clear, actionable plan to address them. Our recommendations are practical, evidence-based, and tailored to your institution’s context, ensuring that improvement actions are achievable, measurable, and aligned with your strategic goals.

Control

We collaborate with your team to monitor, evaluate, and control the implementation of improvement actions, ensuring that progress is sustained and measurable. Through continuous follow-up, performance tracking, and data-driven evaluation, we verify that corrective and preventive measures are effectively embedded into your institutional processes. This partnership approach promotes accountability and fosters a culture of ongoing quality enhancement.
