Skills and exercises

• Auditor behaviour
• Interview and observation techniques

Prepare for the training

Bring an audit scenario and examples of evidence and disputed findings for the practical exercise.

Use an anonymised case to practise the following: evaluating objective evidence.

Check what the training result shows

For Auditor Competence Training, distinguish attendance from assessed learning. Verify the programme, participant, issuer, dates and any stated evaluation criteria before treating a record as evidence of competence.

Apply and review the learning

Use course outputs in the relevant work and review practical examples, records and remaining skill gaps. A training document is stronger when supported by observed application and appropriate responsibilities.

Plan further development when needed

Revisit learning needs when roles, processes or applicable requirements change. Follow any specific programme conditions for reassessment; a universal renewal period should not be assumed.
