Hello,

 

is there anyone that can share the IFS exam for lead auditor, if possible? Or can share its experience (type of questions, case study etc..)?

 

Thank you very much for the collaboration,

Hello,

In addition to what has been said in the topic above - usually after the general written exam there is an exam session for obtaining a tech scope. You apply for a certain technological audit scope (based on your CV/experience) - A, B , C, D and/or E. You automatically get scope F after passing the general exam. For each tech scope requested you get a paper sheet with 6 (I think) questions and you get 20 minutes per tech scope. You pass the the tech scope with a result of at least 60 %. In case you apply for more than one tech scopes you get separate results for the different tech scopes - this means you can pas A and B, but fail C, for example. Then you get approved only for tech scopes A and B.
The tech scopes exam is often underestimated but it is also very important. Imagine you pass the general written and the oral exams but then you fail the tech scopes or only get approved for one tech scope, than you will be only able to conduct audit as co-auditor or have very limited number of companies that you could audit as lead auditor. And this is because your auditor approval (product categories + tech scopes) must cover the company’s products and processes.
