Overview of the webinar
The basic concept of process management is just as applicable to an audit program as to any other business process. It needs objectives aligned to organizational strategy, resources that are continually developed, consideration of risks introduced by the audit program, and continual monitoring for effectiveness and efficiency.
The ISO 19011 guidelines were updated and released in 2018, and contributes significantly to this broader view. It defines the roles, responsibilities and competencies of an audit manager, as well as some of the fundamental requirements for management of an audit program. It includes examples of program objectives, a broad range of skills required of auditors, as well as several techniques that can be used to evaluate auditor effectiveness.
It is the perspective of the webinar speaker that the audit program should be though of and managed as if it were an independent business, with metrics not just related to audits, but also the audit program. Do you know how effective and efficient your audit program is, and are you continually improving it? Do your customers come to you asking for help?
Who should attend?
- Managers of systems and/or audit programs for Quality Management (ISO 9001+)
- Occupational Health & Safety Management (ISO 45001)
- Environmental Management (ISO 14001)
- Information System Services Management (ISO 20000)
- Energy Management (ISO 50001)
- Asset Management (ISO 55001)
Why should you attend?
Too many audits are often seen as simply a mandated use of resources that could be better deployed elsewhere, and management interest wanes when they become routine. This could change if we enlarge our view to not only think about audits, but also the design and management of the audit program itself. While the recent update of the ISO 19011 Guideline for Auditing Management Systems includes the steps for planning, conducting, reporting and closing out an audit, it also delves deeply into management of an audit program. Personnel responsible for managing audit programs for complying with the internal audit requirements of ISO standards can therefore benefit by learning about and adopting some of the guidelines.
