Productivity audit
In productivity auditing, which is defined as measuring how well a company uses its resources to produce goods or services, economy and efficiency are of paramount importance. Economy means minimizing the resources used in an activity while maintaining an appropriate level of quality. Effectiveness is the extent to which objectives are achieved and the relationship between the planned impact of an activity and its actual impact.
Since activity auditing is not limited to accounting transactions alone but also encompasses other business functions, its scope is very broad. The scope of activity auditing may include an organization’s organizational structure, production methods, marketing policies, and information processing activities.
For companies:
- If there are doubts about whether a company’s resources are being used effectively,
- If it is believed that the company’s savings policies should be reviewed,
- If it is desirable to produce more with scarce resources,
- If it is desirable to achieve greater goals with available resources,
An efficiency audit is necessary.
While productivity studies provide companies with the opportunity to raise questions and increase their productivity, they help companies develop the habit of conducting such studies, while also ensuring that the studies are followed up by senior management.
We can mention the stages of productivity audit as follows:
- The organization’s critical areas of activity are identified.
- The company’s operating budgets are obtained.
- Business efficiency rates are determined.
- Business productivity rates over the years are determined.
- The productivity rates of the sector in which the company operates are investigated.

- Labor productivity performance is compared with industry and previous year averages.
- Alternative cost analyses are conducted.
