SPECIFIC STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 5
To ensure that the training system fully meets the need for professional
development for RCoA staff by providing a full range of training
opportunities, operated in an efficient and well-organised manner, that
meets the training needs of both the organisation and individual members
of staff within it.
Strategic measures
Update course
syllabus to make it
more reflective of the
needs of the RCoA
Specific actions
The range of courses offered will include much more than
it currently does on „soft skills” such as time management,
management skills, communication (verbal, written etc),
dealing with low performance, motivation.
It will also include much more on practical audit skills
such as audit planning, audit execution, report-writing,
following up on recommendations, performance auditing,
IT audit skills, risk-based auditing. Training on accruals
accounting will also be provided, linked to a wider
programme of International Public Sector Accounting
Standards (IPSAS)-based courses.
Courses offered will be much more closely aligned to the
specific needs of both individual auditors and the RCoA
as a whole. Information on this should be obtained from the
staff performance evaluation system.
All new recruits will be required to undergo a three month
induction programme. They will attend the courses
established as an introduction to audit. The content of
these courses will be reviewed and updated as appropriate.
This classroom-based training will be combined with onthe-job
training. This induction programme will be timed to
coincide as closely as possible to the activity start dates
of new auditors.
Auditors will have clearly established Continuing
Professional Development requirements for them,
providing that a prescribed number of hours training each
year is delivered to each employee. A monitoring system
will be established to make sure that this is complied with.
