VINCERT®'sTwo Days Integrated Management Systems Internal Auditor Course

As an increasing number of organizations endeavoring to simplify their management systems through integration, the role of internal auditors becomes increasingly challenging.

Whilst internal auditors have traditionally been trained to audit from a particular perspective (quality, safety, financial etc.) the integrated approach requires new competencies to be developed focusing on being able to audit the process and recognize the differing levels of criticality associated with the outcomes.

This course has been specifically designed to train auditors in the 'whole system' philosophy of auditing, and equip them to carry out audits of organizational processes from a variety of perspectives.
