The purpose of the project is to disseminate best practices for auditing procedures, improving knowledge of this complex area of work and ensuring consistent and high implementation standards across the Union.

The training will be implemented in 10 training sessions, of which:
COURSE 1: Setting-up and implementation of an audit system and basics for performing a detailed audit
COURSE 2: Developing advanced skills to conduct a detailed audit to verify the effective and suitable implementation of official controls by the relevant control authorities

Target participants
The project will aim at raising awareness and at improving the understanding of how to set up and implement a National Audit System (NAS) for auditing of official controls within Competent Authorities. This training is specifically aimed with officials who are directly involved in auditing of official controls under the NAS. This includes both auditors and technical experts seconded to the audit team to provide expertise to the audit team.
Dissemination
The BTSF programme is based on the “train the trainers” approach, and for this reason dissemination of the received knowledge is fundamental for the trainings to have a greater impact.
Participants will be requested to commit themselves to disseminate the information received via different methods, i.e. informing colleagues about the information received at the training, distributing the training materials, preparing informative articles in the professional national or, if possible, in international journals, preparing presentations based on the training materials for the staff of national Competent Authorities or other disseminating methods which could be appropriate to share the information received via the BTSF training. During the course participants will be provided with a training package to be used as supporting dissemination material.
