Course Description (Applicable in Singapore Only and Pending CITREP endorsement)
A BCM-ready business is highly regarded and prized as a supplier, largely because this company is deemed a reliable and sustainable partner for both the short and long haul. Becoming BCM-ready is a process businesses providing essential services to others cannot ignore, whether required as part of legal obligations stipulated in request for proposal (RFP)/ tender, or it is part of the corporate culture and ethos of the supplying organization.

BCM Institute’s BCM-840 Audit course provides the Internal Audit framework that enables companies to develop and enhance their audit capabilities to help meet this business requirement. This is primarily achieved through the equipping of internal auditors and Organization BCM Coordinators with the requisite skills, tools & knowledge to plan control and eventually lead BCM-related audits in accordance with the requirements of Singapore’s National BCM Standard - SS 540:2008.
