Operation and maintenance auditor
Asset Management and Maintenance Audits was written by Ralph Bell and Jo Harris and published by BSRIA in July 2012. It states:
‘The auditor’s job is to provide independent assurance that an organisation’s operation and maintenance management and control are operating effectively and assessing whether the expected results have been achieved or not.
‘To do this, the auditor needs to have an understanding of building services operation and maintenance processes and what is required to ensure cost-effective and efficient operation. The auditor should also have the experience to understand an operation and maintenance system regardless of its complexity and structure.
‘Irrespective of whether the organisation has its own procedures or not, a good auditor can provide an input to the organisation’s management processes, by bringing industry-wide experience to the company.’
