Your guide to an official re-examination
The follow-up is one of the most important building blocks in the revision process. It is even a minimum requirement for passing a quality assessment. Because only in a follow-up can it be ensured that weak points have been eliminated, that controls are working effectively again or that new controls have been set up. But as an auditor, how do you keep track of which deficiencies are still being worked on and which have already been corrected? When will the implementation of measures be checked on site and when will a desk check of documents be sufficient? What happens if the recommendations are not implemented? How does the controlling of the follow-up work? We worked out concrete answers to these questions in the seminar.
The seminar will be led by Mr. Sami Abbas from TASCO Revision und Beratung GmbH. For more info.
