Internal Audit of a Tree Risk Management System Workshop

This course is designed to equip managers of tree risk management systems with a clear understanding of internal audit processes and the key aspects that need to be assessed.

Course outcome:

Each attendee will be able to undertake an internal audit of a tree risk management system and produce a report highlighting deficiencies and make recommendations to strengthen the system.

The programme will cover the following:

• Role of the internal auditor
• Benefits to an organisation
• A systems approach to internal audit
• The aspects to be covered in relation to arboriculture
• Methodology for carrying out the audit
• Preparations for an audit report

This course will begin with a presentation and talk, and the afternoon session is where the workshop comes to life and course attendees will examine a tree risk management strategy.
The attendees will need to identify if the written strategy will allow a system to operate that will deliver a duty of care, or if not, where the weaknesses are. Once identified the attendees will need to produce actions that will strengthen the system. The examination of the strategy will be carried out using a systematic approach using a template methodology. This template can be adopted or adapted to suit each attendee’s use at work. It is this systematic approach that delivers the strength of the workshop. Tree Life has been able to use the template very successfully in auditing several large organisations in the UK and Ireland which include Local Authorities and the Woodland Trust.
