These days QAD inspectors expect audit compliance principals (ACPs) to be increasingly hands-on when leading their teams. This seminar will explore all the important things ACPs must do order to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements whilst balancing crucial commercial consideration. Topics covered will include:

• Overview of recent high-profile audit ‘scandals’ and their significance for RIs
• Supporting staff, managers and other RIs - how to set the right ‘tone from the top’
• The new quality management standards two years on – what ACPs really need to have done
• Key ethical challenges and how to address them in audit firms
• Horizon-scanning - important recent technical and regulatory changes and why they matter
