Indonesia: ICITAP Advances Forensic Lab Accreditation with National Police

On August 12, a forensic division internal audit training program was held for all nine laboratories across Indonesia. A total of 88 students undertook this training with a gender split of 60 males and 28 females. This training teaches the participants all the requirements of conducting internal audits across all aspects of their lab operations, how they should develop their Annual Audit Plan, how to formulate the audit team, how to perform the audit professionally and constructively so that any non-conformities are dealt with and resolved, identifying improvements to improve the lab's operations, and finally how to prepare the final report which is signed off by the audited area and the audit team. This training is part of the requirements for the ongoing accreditation process.
