Course Summary
A Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) is intended to help an organisation constantly improve its business continuity performance, satisfy legal and other responsibilities, and achieve its business continuity objectives. One of four critical assurance processes in a well-managed BCMS is an internal audit program. You will benefit from the course by learning and developing the skills needed to conduct audits with a variety of goals, such as analysing an organisation’s ability to achieve its anticipated results.
