Auditing Management Systems - ISO 19011 |
|
|
Audience |
This seminar is designed for auditors-in-training, auditors, audit supervisors and audit managers who have responsibility for auditing management systems (e.g., quality, environmental, health and safety, and security management systems) - specifically to the requirements of ISO 19011. |
|
Learning Outcomes |
This seminar covers in detail (a) the considerations for establishing the overall audit system (b) the differences in the processes for internal audit, supplier audit and third party audit, and (c) in anticipation of the forthcoming revision to ISO 19011, the process for performing an individual audit of any management system, in addition to quality, environmental, health and safety management systems. Upon completion of this seminar, you'll be able to: • Use audit terminology; • Understand the differences among internal, supplier and third party auditing; • Understand the factors to be considered in establishing an audit system and in structuring the audit system for application to any other management system; • Establish the audit objective - "compliance-based" or "effectiveness-based"; • Establish the audit scope - "risk-based" or "non-risk based"; • Determine data collections techniques - "system-based" / "program-based", "performance-based" and "results-based"; • Perform and lead an audit, step-by-step, in detail; • Design, develop, implement and assess an audit system. |
