COURSE OBJECTIVES: This course delivers an introduction to auditing for compliance, as well as teaching the skills and techniques needed to achieve effective results. The course is suitable for those auditors wishing to specialise in this function as well as those entirely new to the topic.
BACKGROUND: For various reasons, top management in most organisations have the need to be assured, on a regular basis, that the most important practices and procedures are well adhered to by employees. This has increased over recent times because of the impact of corporate governance and control environments, such as those dictated by quality standards, financial and other regulation, branch inspection or ''internal controller'' regimes which need a special approach to the audit task. The course offers a thorough grounding in this increasingly important area.
