Hi All

Just wondered if any of you know where i can get the above information.

In the past ive seen good reports and terrible ones. I am at a lost on where to start in formulating a good audit template that can be adjusted for various industries.

I am not expecting existing consultants to just give away their own hard work.

I just want some pros/cons advice and good reading material to help me decide how best to construct one.

All help and advice is very much appreciated
P.s does anyone know where i could get auditing training in the north west and what the cost would be.

Thanks all

Thanks Folks

This is one area I want to research fully as from my understanding in the past it can determine whether or not your going to get called back for further buisness.

I have copied the references you have both mentioned and will spend some time analysing the pros & cons. The next step is learning blasted access to store all the information.

No wonder safety folk are mostly old (no offence intended) by the ammount of time we spend studying.
