Description
Join us for a Free webinar, hosted by an International
ISO Auditor. This is a rare opportunity to understand where ISO Auditors are
approaching the audits. External Auditors are not allowed to provide any advice
during an audit or to provide consulting to audit clients. Thus, we are just
auditing to make a judgement regarding the compliance against the requirements
of the standards.
