WHO Global Competency Model for Auditors
What does WHO Global Competency Model require of a Auditor?
The World Health Organization's Enhanced Global Competency Model describing the core, management, and leadership competencies expected of all WHO staff. Under WHO Global Competency Model, which defines 31 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 WHO Global Competency Model 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.
WHO Global Competency Model defines 31 controls across 4 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.

Planning and executing risk-based audit engagements against compliance frameworks
Evaluating control design and operating effectiveness through testing
