Introduction to EASA Risk-Based Auditing & Measurement of Effectiveness – 1 Day

Introduction

This course is offered as both recurrent training as well as an opportunity to enable existing Aviation Auditors to upskill and enable 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.
This course considers 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.

Who is this course for?

The course is aimed at aviation professionals and auditors seeking to understand and apply the principles of risk-based auditing in compliance with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations. Participants will learn how to assess and measure the effectiveness of safety management systems and auditing processes within the aviation industry.
