Are compliance checks really working?
Take part in the ChecQR Behind the Checklist Survey 2025
Every day, businesses carry out the checks that keep operations running and people safe, from hygiene logs and safety inspections to traceability and temperature records. But behind the paperwork, what’s really happening?
We’re running a short survey to understand how compliance checks are managed across industries, and how people feel about the systems, processes and pressures behind them.
What this research will explore:
- How checks are completed and stored across different industries
- What happens when records go missing, or data isn’t where it should be
- How much time is spent preparing for audits and inspections
- Whether digital tools are helping — or making things harder
- What professionals would fix, if they could change one thing about record-keeping
Why now?
We hear a lot about best practice but not enough about the day-to-day reality. This research will give us a clearer picture of how people actually manage compliance, and where the biggest challenges are, whether you’re working in-house or across multiple clients.
From food production to construction, from ISO consultants to operational teams, if checks, records or audits are part of your world, we’d love to hear from you.
Who should take part?
This survey is for people who are directly involved in:
- Completing or reviewing compliance checks
- Preparing for audits, inspections or regulator visits
- Supporting other businesses with compliance (e.g. consultants and advisors)
- Managing the tools or processes that keep records audit-ready
If that’s your world, you’re exactly who we want to hear from.
What will happen with the results?
We’ll be publishing the key insights from this survey in a free industry report later this year, and sharing trends with participants first. Your response will help build a clearer picture of where compliance stands in 2025, and what needs to change.
It takes under 5 minutes and it’s completely anonymous.
