The correct recording of a finding as well as its evaluation, classification and the development of the correct conclusions during or after an audit are among the most important tools of an auditor. tools of an auditor. When used correctly, an audit can become a powerful tool for monitoring compliance and targeted corrective actions, as well as fuelling the continuous improvement process. In the aviation industry, “proper” auditing can prevent potential safety problems.
This training is not a substitute for years of auditing experience, but rather a very good starting point for aspiring auditors or a repetition of theoretical content for already practising auditors.
