As Business Area Managers we are responsible for the Quality Control and will also be in receipt of numerous audits both internal from the quality Assurance department and external from the Regulatory Authority and Customers.

The ability to communicate effectively and to analyze root causes are without doubt essential skills for business area managers is an essential element.

The purpose of this training is to identify best practice techniques and behaviours to support the interpretation of audit findings and how these can be understood, analysed and mitigated.

The delegate will consider practices to determine the root causes of identified issues. Consideration will also be given to role of the business area owner to manage process and procedures.

This course is intended to be highly practical and to help the delegate focus on the 5 elements which exist within the audit finding.
