I start off with pictures and explanations of process, input, output, activity, etc. Using pictures, I show how items link up. Theory is all fine and good, but I want to know if the Auditors understand.
This leads us to Exercise #1. Since we're all doing Internal Auditor Training, that is the process focused on where the student are to identify the inputs, outputs, environment, etc.
Exercise #2 is a repeat of Exercise #1, but in Teams, they select their own process and determine the inputs, outputs, etc.
During the Mock Audit exercise, they follow the IA process and learn to how to use the checklists to verify/validate the existing process being audited.
