The experience of the QCCI staff in dealing with many different computer systems, environments and problems, equips us with a unique skill of performing an audit of a computer installation. This audit could be done to make sure that a client is conforming to their corporate computing standards or perhaps the standards set forth by their external auditors. We can deal with all aspects of standards and make recommendations of what is needed to meet those standards.
