INTRODUCTION
The audit programme comes to an end with the preparation of the audit report. The report may be clean or qualified. The report is qualified when the HR performance contains gaps. Where gaps are observed, remedial measures are suggested. The report is clean where the performance is fairly satisfactory. Estimating your future workforce requirements is an inexact science. But a number of different techniques exist to help you do this, as well as to calculate the state of the labour market in the short to medium-term and assess any problems or implications that result.

In Part 2, you will use checklists, interviews and questionnaires to gather objective data about every aspect of the T&D function and its activities. In Part 3, you will identify any weaknesses or gaps between intention and reality - then deliver recommendations for future T&D organisation, planning and delivery. Run correctly, the audit will: Ensure that all T&D activities have maximum impact on individual, team and company performance.
