Root Cause Analysis and Understanding Audit Themes

Kurssin kuvaus

Learning Target:

Auditors learn to understand how they can utilise best practice root cause techniques in their work. This can help with better quality findings, actions that address underlying issues, and a reduced number of repeat findings. The course will also equip audit teams with a better ability to carry out trend analysis of past findings.

Some recent course comments:

“Nice balance of theory and practice.”

“I liked the easy going atmosphere. James is actually one of my favored instructors. He is always very approachable and encouraging.”

“The courses are given on a structured way and very clearly.“
