Qfor-WSE audit: show that your organization meets the WSE quality conditions
A Qfor-WSE audit demonstrates that your organization meets the minimum quality requirements of the Department of WEWIS (Work, Economy, Science, Innovation and Social Economy).
This audit is intended for organizations active in employment, professional training and social economy in Flanders. If you want to receive funding, subsidies or other support for these activities, you must be registered with the WSE office.
The quality and registration model for service providers within Work and Social Economy is a measure of the Flemish government. To demonstrate that your organization meets the minimum quality requirements, you can go through a Qfor-WSE audit.
During the audit your activities are tested against the indicators of the Qfor-WSE Scan standard, based on the proven Qfor methodology.
Our approach
During the audit, an independent auditor analyzes how your organization operates and to what extent it meets the quality indicators.
The audit assesses three main areas:
Services
The information you offer about your organization and activities, as well as the resources you have at your disposal to implement and follow up on your services.
HR
The inflow of new internal and external employees, their competencies and the further development of employees within your organization.
Financial management
The financial objectives of your organization and how your finances are monitored.
