Unifii manages audits as complete assurance workflows, from scope and audit components through to evidence, findings, business acceptance, corrective actions, recommendations and verified closure.

This is audit software built for real audit programs, not an inspection checklist trying to act like an audit.

Inspections check what is present. Audits assess whether the system behind it is working.

Unifii supports both. The value is keeping them clear so the right workflow is used for the right job.

Use inspections when you are checking workplace conditions, visible controls, behaviours or specific items. Inspections are often condition-based and immediate. They can capture observations, comments, photos, immediate actions and follow-up actions.

Use audits when you are assessing whether a system, process, standard or control is working. Audits are normally planned, structured and evidence-based. They are usually framed against expected requirements or statements of what should be in place, and use findings such as conforming, non-conforming and opportunity for improvement.

The difference is not whether the record can include comments, photos or actions. The difference is the purpose of the question: inspections check observable conditions; audits assess evidence against an expected system, procedure, standard or control.

Manual handling shows the difference.

A random site check of manual handling behaviours is not the same as a business-wide audit of how manual handling risk is being managed.

Inspections ask whether a manual handling task observed on the day is being completed safely, whether the area is set up correctly, or whether immediate action is needed.

An audit asks whether the business has the systems, procedures, training, controls, monitoring and follow-up in place to manage manual handling risk across the relevant parts of the organisation.
