ABOUT THE COURSE

Participants work as a member of a team of internal auditors to appraise the Health, Safety and Environmental Management Systems (HSE-MS) of Petros Barola Ltd, a fictitious but highly realistic case study based on the distribution department of an integrated oil company located on the Caribbean island of Barola.

The course is designed to introduce new and experienced internal auditors to a dynamic risk-based approach and techniques for assessing the effectiveness of any HSE-MS. It has also proved beneficial for preparing technically competent line managers and supervisors prior to secondment to internal audit teams auditing an HSE-MS in any technical environment.

Application has been made to IRCA for certification of this course.

The programme is firmly based in the principles of corporate responsibility for risk management and business control, and the theory and practice of modern risk-based internal auditing. The case study scenario has been successfully used by participants from many disciplines working in the upstream, midstream and downstream business sectors and key support functions because it enables them to focus on the structure and execution of the audit rather than being distracted by their specialist knowledge of their own sector of the industry.

The five-day course programme consists of a mix of tutorials, workshops and hands-on activities within the audit case study. Participants work in small teams, each led by an experienced Lead Auditor. Every participant works within the team through each stage of an audit with live face-to-face interviews and a variety of corporate documents and test results to simulate the execution of an actual audit. The culmination is a presentation to the senior management of the company.
