Introduction: 
It is essential for modern organisations to have Management Systems in place and to effectively audit them in a way that’s organised, systematic and that also adds value. 
This course will assist auditors, particularly those who audit internally against structured management systems, to do so from a risk and process-based perspective to check for Effectiveness, Conformance and identify Improvement opportunities. This programme is applicable to both the private and public sector.
