Course Overview
Inspection catches problems in quality system internal audit; it does not prevent them. The cost of poor quality in internal audit is rarely visible in any single budget line. It concentrates on the parts of this part of quality and productivity management that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of quality system internal audit is examined, not just described. The content is relevant to those who own the quality and productivity management capability and to those who are held accountable for its results. Ambition around internal audit outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. They acquire practical criteria for judging when quality system internal audit is working and when it is only appearing to. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better internal audit is rarely technical. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this aspect of quality and productivity management rather than a set of notes.
