Regulatory Auditing Techniques

Introduction

A regulatory authority needs to be in full control of its regulatory oversight process, which in turn will need to satisfy the States commitments to international conventions. It is now well recognized that auditing is an important an integral part of a full regulatory oversight process, and many regulatory authorities have adopted auditing techniques as a means of obtaining evidence of regulatory compliance and to assist in the initial and continued approval and/or certification of an organization.

This four day course is specifically designed to provide regulators with a sufficient understanding of the principles and practice of auditing to enable them to develop auditing processes to suit a broad range of regulatory auditing activities relating to Aerodromes, Flight Operations, Aircraft Maintenance, Training organizations, etc. undertaken by individuals or multi disciplinary teams, and to provide them with the necessary tools and techniques to plan and undertake individual regulatory auditing activities that verify regulatory compliance and process effectiveness. 

The course covers the principles and practice of conducting an initial review of an organization for regulatory compliance together with the use of auditing to verify the on-going effective implementation of the management system adopted by the organization to ensure continued compliance. It is based around EASA regulations and the ICAO oversight model. 

The course revolves around a case study organization that requires formal approval following which it is necessary for the regulatory authority to construct an ongoing audit oversight program to verify continued compliance.
