Thank you for all the advice!

I have posted on here a few times and received some great advice. Probably for every post I have made, I have read about a hundred more! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all of you on here and how much reading everyone's posts has helped me! Being able to search topics and seeing the examples of forms and documents people have posted has been so incredibly helpful. 

We had our SQF initial certification audit this week and scored 99/100! Our auditor told me that it is rare to score so high on an initial certification and I think this forum is partly responsible for that. This has been about 2 years of work for us, and it feels like a gigantic weight has been lifted from my shoulders, so thank you all again! 

That is an amazing score!!  Great job!!

Yes, this site has been a godsend for me.  Our GAP audit is in 2 weeks and while I'm still worried about a few things, I am pretty confident in a lot of what I've done because of the help from this site.

Congratulations!

Now to maintain it. It may seem like a lot of work to maintain, but just remember how much it took to succeed the first time. The maintenance will make future success a lot easier!

Thank you! And yes definitely!  Also, I'm still going to work on improvements. Even though we only had one official finding, there were items that were pointed out that were ok for our initial certification but could be better, or ways to make things easier and more clear in documentation. So I have a list of stuff that I will be working on. It's for sure a lot of work to maintain, but it feels sooooo good to have gone through the audit!
