Our Validation and Verification Process.
> The client completes the project information template, and NOVA CERT reviews the information and issues the quotation.
> The client receives the formal proposal, including a clear description of the scope and conditions of the V/V service.
> The audit team performs an initial review of the project documentation and coordinates the assessment dates with the client.
> The client receives the audit plan, including the audit schedule and the list of evidence to be reviewed.
> The assessment is conducted (remote or on-site), and the audit findings are documented.
> The client addresses the findings and submits responses for review by the audit team leader.
> An independent technical reviewer evaluates the audit report to confirm compliance with all applicable requirements.
> The final V/V opinion and the complete audit report are issued by the VVB.
