- Why did the Auditing Association of Canada change its name from the Canadian Environmental Auditing Association?
In 2006, the association decided to expand its certification role by creating the Certified Health & Safety Management System Auditor designation (CHSMSA). In addition, we redefined our mandate to look at other opportunities to promote and develop non-financial auditing approaches and certifications. Therefore the “Environmental” label did not fully cover our mandate, hence the new name; Auditing Association of Canada (AAC). - How many members does the AAC have?
Over 375 across Canada and some in other countries. - Does the AAC have any regional activities?
Yes. We currently have four Regional Chapters operating in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and the Atlantic region. We aim to increase the amount of Regional Chapter activities over time including additional networking opportunities and technical workshops. Please visit our Regional Chapter pages for more information. If you are interested in creating a new regional chapter in your area, please contact us at: . - How do I ensure that I am ready to undergo the certification process?
Check the information provided in the Body of Skills and Knowledge (BOSK) and the application guidance. Both can be found by clicking on “Certification” and then “Health and Safety”. - After the initial certification process, what assurances are there that the certified auditor remains competent?
Periodic re-certification (every five years), which includes requirements for ongoing professional development and specified work and audit experience. - How does the organization represent the profession on the national and international stage?
The Executive Director and several Board members are actively involved in activities that support auditors. The Executive Director chairs the CECAB Certification Sub-Committee, which also has two other AAC Board members actively engaged as members. That sub-committee is involved in such issues as updates and revisions to certification designations, the certification application process, examination requirements, etc. In the international arena the Executive Director chairs the Canadian Advisory Committee to ISO that deals with such issues as the 5 year review of ISO 19011. AAC is very interested in ensuring our members have the highest level of certification and standards requirements to ensure our auditors in Canada are second to none in competence. - What role does the organization have in furthering the professional development of its membership, and how is this achieved?
AAC, aside from the types of activities described above, holds an annual conference with the primary purpose of providing up to the minute insights into current issues most relevant to auditors, with the highest quality speakers. We hold workshops in conjunction with the conference to focus on high interest topics such as audit program development, value added auditing, root cause analysis, etc. A recent development has been our Regional Chapters who will hold meetings, workshops, etc., to focus on issues and topics of specific interest to the region they support.
