ISO/IEC 19796-1:2005 for Auditors
What does ISO/IEC 19796-1:2005 require of a Auditor?
The SC 36 reference framework (RFDQ) for describing quality approaches in learning, education and training: seven process categories from needs analysis to evaluation and optimization with 38 sub-processes, a thirteen-attribute descriptive model, three use scenarios and a conformance rule. Under ISO/IEC 19796-1:2005, which defines 41 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which ISO/IEC 19796-1:2005 controls land on the Auditor
Internal Auditors assess whether compliance controls are operating effectively. They plan and execute audit engagements, evaluate evidence, report findings, and track remediation of identified gaps and nonconformities.
ISO/IEC 19796-1:2005 defines 41 controls across 9 domains that directly affect the Auditor role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
