Not a guide about the standard. The working documents themselves.
These six are a sample of the 60+ connected documents in the full toolkit - enough to see how the pieces fit and the quality of the work. Click any of them to preview it, and download the sample right from the preview.
Start here. A one-page visual of the whole monitoring year: the four milestones plus the ongoing, event-driven items. The big picture at a glance.
PreviewThe engine of the system. Maps each quality objective to the risks that threaten it, scores them, and links each to the policy or response that addresses it. Preview shows the Governance component.
PreviewThe table of contents for the entire system. Every form, what it's for, its format, and how often you use it, so you can see the full scope and stay organized all year.
PreviewYour project plan for the year. Target dates populate automatically from your quality-management year-end, and status tracks across all four milestones.
PreviewThe recurring partner touchpoint for ongoing and event-driven items: acceptance and continuance, independence, complaints and more. Fillable and partner-signed each quarter.
PreviewCloses the loop. When an inspection surfaces a deficiency, this walks you from finding, to root cause, to severity, to a documented remediation plan.
PreviewAll previews are watermarked samples - 6 of the 60+ documents in the toolkit. The complete system is delivered on purchase.
The SQMS Risk Assessment Matrix and Complete SQMS Toolkit include practical working documents designed to support implementation of SQMS No. 1. The Complete SQMS Toolkit expands on the matrix with 60+ connected PDF, Word, and Excel-based working documents covering implementation, monitoring, annual evaluation, remediation, documentation, and ongoing quality management.
No. The toolkit is intentionally comprehensive, but you are not expected to use every document. Each resource is clearly identified so you can distinguish between documentation required by SQMS No. 1, your firm's policies and procedures, and optional implementation resources. The goal is to help you focus on what applies to your firm while understanding how each piece fits into the overall system.
That's exactly what these resources are designed to support. They help document your firm's System of Quality Management, monitoring activities, remediation process, and annual evaluation in a way that creates a clear and defensible record for peer review. They don't replace professional judgment, but they do provide a practical framework for documenting it.
No. Everything is delivered as PDF, Word, and Excel-based working documents. There is no software subscription, platform, or seat license. Once purchased, the files are yours to use within your firm.
No. The Excel workpapers are designed to be completed, not rebuilt. Dates, formulas, and linked schedules are already in place so you can focus on documenting your firm's system rather than creating spreadsheets from scratch.
