Dear Culture Shifter,
Following the communication from the Quality Management (QM) and Technical Audit Support (TAS) business units, please refer to the email below. The Learning Experiences business unit is reaching out to emphasize the importance of completing the Quality Management high-risk findings training. This training is crucial to our shared commitment to quality and excellence and is essential for addressing and preventing recurring findings, particularly as we wrap up the current MFMA audits.
The video analysis offers practical recommendations and tips to help us mitigate recurring findings. It provides an overview of the areas requiring our immediate attention and strengthens our efforts to align with ISQM 1 standards.
Why prioritize this training?
- Impact on audit quality: The training covers high-risk findings identified in our latest QM monitoring results and includes practical recommendations directly relevant to ongoing work. Completing it promptly will better prepare you to address and prevent these findings.
- Alignment with ISQM 1: As part of our adherence to ISQM 1 standards, the insights shared will help ensure our audits meet AGSA’s rigorous quality standards. This training will strengthen our approach to quality management and improve the outcomes of our reviews.
- Strategic timing: Given the immediate relevance to the current MFMA audits and the PFMA cycle, completing this training now is crucial. It will help all of us implement quality-enhancing practices before audits are finalized, reducing the potential for quality issues in future cycles.
- Collective commitment: Every team member’s engagement in this training reinforces our shared responsibility in upholding the quality and integrity of AGSA’s work. By prioritizing this training, you contribute to a stronger, more resilient quality management system.
