Audits help corporations and locations better communicate.  Inspections help locations understand where the standards of success are, while self-audits from locations can help corporations understand the problems involved in meeting the standards.

By pointing out non-complying areas, a corporate manager can help locations to understand how to better serve the customer, how to be safer, how to protect the brand and how to improve profits.

Self-audits can help the corporate managers understand the challenges locations face in correcting issues, can give ideas about how to be more efficient in the standards and give additional ideas of improvements.

The Corporation and the Location can truly become partners in making changes to improve the business in service and profits by using audit tools.  Technologies can improve the communication by making it timely and more effective.
