Mistakes during audits can lead to significant costs and reputational damage.

What will you learn during the Masterclass Audit Defense?
This interactive masterclass provides both theoretical and practical insights, along with hands-on experience. The sessions are built around three scenarios that commonly occur during an audit. You will learn:
- Taking control from the first contact: How do you respond appropriately when the audit letter arrives, and how do you prevent the situation from escalating?
- Regaining control: What to do when a commitment or meeting has already taken place? How do you restore the situation and maintain control over the audit?
- Challenging vendor claims: How do you analyze and contest claims from vendors, such as an “Effective License Position” (ELP)?
What does the Masterclass Audit Defense look like?
Our sessions are interactive and include explanations, group assignments, role plays, and discussions. Various scenarios are first explained with an overview and example cases. Then, you will have the opportunity to actively participate in group assignments and role plays, applying your new knowledge right away. Throughout the masterclass, the key learning points will be summarized, and you will gain a clear overview of the best ways to respond in different situations.
