Assess your judgement to lead audits and support your conclusions with evidence.

BackgroundTraining and experienceApplicationAudit situationsResultDefined scope

Ask about requirements and availability for your professional experience.

Professional competence

What leading an audit means.

The technical reference guides the work. Background and audit decisions make it possible to understand which competence you want to demonstrate.

Background provides context; the professional result depends on an assessment and its decision.

Objectives and management of sustainable development in communities.

Fields of knowledge

  • Objectives and management of sustainable development in communities.
  • Leading teams and substantiating audit conclusions.
  • Judgement, evidence and the limits of a conclusion.

Preparation and background

For those who want to lead audits, explain their judgement and submit their competences to technical assessment.

The initial inquiry identifies your objective and the relevant requirements. The availability of a formal assessment and its issuer must be confirmed for this programme.

Preparing a candidature

From experience to demonstrable judgement.

Organise the background that explains your professional role and the work you want to demonstrate.

  5. 05

    Request the criteria, the format and the identity of the responsible party before confirming an assessment.

  6. 06

    Basis of the conclusions

    Explain why the conclusions rest on the information examined and what their limits are.

  7. 07

    Result and scope

    A formal decision identifies the result and its scope. Receipt of background does not anticipate a favourable decision.

The inquiry and the submission of background introduce the programme; the formal assessment requires confirmed conditions. Online payment and formal examinations are not yet enabled.

Context matters

A situation.
A judgement to defend.

The assessment must place the concepts in a specific activity and define what evidence allows a conclusion.

In a practical assessment, the case must make it possible to understand your role, the decisions taken and the evidence available.

What to prepare for a review

Participation in audits, leadership role, scope, team and background that allow what is declared to be checked.

References to clients, persons or documents require an appropriate channel and conditions. The initial submission receives a summary without confidential files.

About the practical assessment

Profile and traceability

A reference that can be verified.

When a result is published, its reference allows the authorised data, the scope and the status to be consulted. Confidential background is shared through the indicated channel.
