Description
BCLE AUD NFPA 1600 provides the training, tools, and hands-on experience needed to audit business continuity, disaster, and emergency management programs.
Featuring a case-study-based, hands-on format, you will learn by doing in this unique and highly effective course. Whether you're a business continuity professional, an internal or external auditor, or a consultant who assesses continuity and emergency management programs for clients, DRI’s ANSI-accredited audit course provides the training, tools, and hands-on experience needed to audit business continuity, disaster, and emergency management programs.
Using a hypothetical case study company, you'll gather information and make determinations about whether the program you are auditing conforms to the 2016 edition of NFPA 1600 "Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs." At the conclusion of the course, you’ll work with a small group to present your recommendations to the class.
The course includes all of the elements of an emergency management and business continuity program as defined by NFPA 1600, starting with the fundamentals of auditing with emphasis on auditing an emergency management and business continuity program. Each course module covers an element of NFPA 1600. In addition to the body of knowledge defined by NFPA 1600, this course also includes two modules on auditing. The first module identifies auditing standards and guidance in addition to defining the phases of engagement, engagement planning, performance of the audit, and communicating results. The second module covers reporting findings and recommendations.
The course materials include a comprehensive audit guide for you to take back to your workplace and use when preparing for and conducting an audit and when reporting audit findings. The audit guide identifies who should be interviewed, documents that should be reviewed, as well as surveys that should be conducted to gather evidence of conformity to the standard. Audit questions are designed to guide the you in determining whether the information you gathered conforms to the standard.
This is a Certificate Program.
