Introduction
This course is offered as both recurrent training as well as an opportunity to enable existing Aviation Auditors to upskill and enable full engagement with a Risk-Based Oversight Audit System.
Understand how to consider and measure an existing baseline level and how to transition to a risk-based oversight audit cycle.
What is Risk-Based Oversight (RBO)?
EASA is increasingly focusing on the introduction of Performance (Risk) Based Regulation (PBR) as a complement to a Prescriptive (Compliance Based) Regulation. With the goal of ensuring the best allocation of resources to both understand the risk facing the business together with the development of appropriate mitigations.
Note – The existing compliance-based prescriptive audit system typically becomes a baseline on which a prescriptive system is built.
During Part 1 of the course, we will consider the fundamental elements of a Risk-Based Auditing Program together with the value of measuring the organizational effectiveness to meet the objective of driving performance improvements.
During Part 2 we will consider in detail the impact of Risk-Based Auditing in the typical business areas with which an organization shows compliance to the requirements of IOSA.
