Upcoming Online Seminar on Privacy Mark Internal Audits

On March 26, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, 3A Consulting, a leader in ISO and Privacy Mark support, will host the Second Internal Audit Seminar focusing on essential skills for efficient reporting and handling of audit findings. This seminar is perfect for those who may feel uncertain about how to write audit reports or differentiate between improvement proposals and findings.

Purpose of the Seminar

The purpose of this free online seminar is to equip companies with the tools needed to maintain and improve their personal information management systems through effective internal audits. Many individuals in charge of internal audits face common challenges such as:

• - Uncertainty in writing findings
• - Lack of confidence in compiling audit reports
• - Ambiguity in distinguishing between improvement suggestions and findings

In this seminar, we'll delve into two major themes: reporting and responding to findings. Attendees will learn how to base their assessments on established standards rather than mere intuition. Participants will gain insights on practical auditing, including the difference between findings (non-conformities) and improvement suggestions. Additionally, we will introduce a clear reference structure for organizing findings as well as optimal ways to compile audit reports that lead to corrections and improvements, classified by severity level. Our goal is to elevate internal audits from mere formalities to processes that genuinely foster organizational improvement. Whether you're currently involved in audits or are preparing to take on audit responsibilities, this seminar offers invaluable content to help you succeed.

Who Should Attend

This seminar is a great fit for:

• - Those who have conducted audits but lack confidence in compiling reports
• - Individuals who are unsure about the difference between findings and improvement suggestions
• - Those who have submitted findings but feel they haven't led to appropriate corrections or improvements

• - Aspiring auditors looking to ensure that their audits lead to meaningful improvements rather than simply ticking boxes
