Recorded Webinar | Presented by Dr. George Anastasopoulos, Technical & International Business Development Manager, PJLA

Auditing has changed—and so have the expectations. In today’s conformity assessment landscape, traditional record-checking isn’t enough. Modern standards require a process-based approach that connects performance, risks, and continual improvement to deliver real value.
