Information to help me prepare for a Lead Auditor course?
Hi,
I am going to attend a Lead Auditor course in near future, which I am really grateful for.
As English is not my first language i like to read some books or information to help me prepare for a course.
Can anyone suggest a book or a good website which will help me to pass and exam?
Cheers
Agnes
