Management Systems Auditing
An Objective Eye on Your Management Systems
Independent management system audits for medical device and regulated manufacturers — internal (first-party) audits, supplier (second-party) qualification and monitoring audits, and pre-certification gap assessments. Grounded in ISO 13485, ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, and FDA requirements. Available remotely and on-site throughout Southern California.
Philosophy
Approach & Philosophy
“Too many times I have sat across from an auditor who wanted to ‘help’ me — or spent the bulk of every audit expounding on their experiences. That is not an audit. That is a consultation nobody asked for. It undermines the process, wastes everyone’s time, and leaves the organization without the honest picture they actually needed.”
— Amanda Barth, BSI Lead Auditor
My role is to provide an objective reflection of the state of your management system — not to tell you how it should be done. That is what consulting is for.
I evaluate what I observe against the applicable standard and the context of your organization, document findings with clarity and precision, and deliver a report that gives you an honest picture of where your system stands. What you do with it is up to you — though I am available separately as a consultant if you want help acting on the findings.
This approach protects the integrity of the audit, builds trust with your team, and gives leadership the unfiltered visibility they need to make informed decisions.
Audit vs. Consulting
Audit: Independent, objective evaluation. Findings documented against the standard and the organization’s own context — what was observed, not how to fix it.
Consulting: Hands-on guidance, system design, and remediation support — engaged separately to preserve audit independence.

Auditing Guidelines
Background
6+ years inside regulated medical device environments — from QA/RA Associate to Quality Assurance Manager. Deep hands-on experience with ISO 13485, ISO 9001, FDA 21 CFR Part 820/QMSR, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, eQMS platforms, and audit-ready documentation practices.
Conducted and participated in quality system audits covering document control, complaints and returns, supplier qualification, design controls, lot release, production processes, and recordkeeping.
Led a compressed six-week ISO 13485 recertification drive at DynaFlex Technologies — including concurrent eQMS implementation and full quality system remediation under tight deadline pressure.
