Internal Pre Audit Confidence Building Programmes

Large organisations will routinely send a team to carry out internal quality, health safety, security and environmental audits of your business unit.

In our experience the competence of internal auditors varies from untrained to highly professional. Almost inevitably corporate auditors may not see the operational priorities in the same way as you.

​

We can use our experience to tailor a short programme to raise the confidence of your team by:

​

• understanding audit scope and criteria

• dispel concerns about the unknown by explaining and preparing for the expected.

• dealing with the unexpected

• ensuring that auditees know the limits of  their expertise

• know when to involve more senior management 

• taking time out to monitor audit progress

• how to deal with potential non-conformances, well before the closing meeting

• what is reasonable,  and what is not in terms of professional conduct from an internal audit team.

• addressing concerns about internal audit team in a professional manner

• preparing a pre audit self-assessment so that  there are no surprises

• pre audit management review

• confidentiality issues

Internal audits take time and resources away from the front line. We can help your team to learn, instil them with confidence, and make the audit a way to stimulate continual improvement.
