How we work
Our unique approach to auditing – LRQA Business Assurance (known in China as LRQA Business Assurance or LRQA BA) – helps you manage your system and risks well to improve and protect your organisation's current and future performance.

The ability to deliver on promises, improve your reputation, and set yourself apart
Appreciate the tangible benefits of the value of the management system and link these benefits to financial performance or effectiveness and efficiency performance
Enhance your ability to manage a range of non-financial risks
Confidence in the management system to meet the needs of stakeholders
