The Lead Auditor course is designed for auditors wishing to carry out auditing for the RSPO producer standard, for company staff in charge of meeting RSPO requirements, and any interested stakeholders (e.g. NGOs, government officials) wanting to learn about RSPO standards and systems. The course, taken place on 25-29 August 2014, includes lectures, workshops, a practical audit exercise in an oil palm company in Pekanbaru area, and a written examination.

 

Endorsed by the RSPO, the course provides lead auditors and other participants with an in-depth knowledge of the RSPO Principles and Criteria and their implementation. It focuses on the application of the RSPO Certification Systems and audit practice requirements to ensure consistent and appropriate audit decision-making.

 

Some 29 participants from oil palm companies, consulting firms, certification bodies, and the RSPO joined the course. For the course outline and other information, please download the brochure here.
