FAQ's

I am a trained auditor and have just joined the Compliance Monitoring function and would like to understand how I can deliver real benefit in my new role. Is this course suitable for me?

Yes, understanding the intent of the regulations, the management system approach, and the role of the Compliance Monitoring function is vital. Your output (audit reports) in this new role must inform your management team about the level of compliance and performance within your organisation. Understanding the intent and not just the content of the Compliance Monitoring regulations will allow you to deliver this.

As a Responsible Manager I want to improve my understanding of what the role of the Compliance Monitoring function is and what they should be doing to help protect our organisation. Is this course suitable for me?

Yes, this course examines the required competencies, purposes, and interactions that need to be defined so that the Compliance Monitoring function can protect both you and your organisation. It examines in detail all the indicators required to establish, implement and maintain an effective Compliance Monitoring function.

I work in a non-CAT environment but am extremely interested in doing something different from the day-to-day box-ticking audits. Will this course provide me with a different way of thinking?

Yes, delivering benefit from your audit programme is what this course is all about. Understanding this refreshed approach will provide you with a reinvigorated view on the role of this ‘assurance’ function. You will leave this course with an understanding of what an effective oversight programme looks like. It will seriously challenge the common box-ticking audit approach.
