About this course
A highly interactive two-session (8 hours total) course that shows you how to use the internal audit as a practical tool to assure your approach to Travel Risk Management (TRM) programme in line with ISO 31030:2021. We focus on process effectiveness, risk and evidence—so you can produce concise, value-adding audit reports that help management make decisions and drive cost-effective improvements.

Recommended pathway: Complete the International SOS Foundation – ISO 31030 Training, then take the next step, the MSS Global Internal Auditor course.

Who should attend
Travel risk managers, compliance/audit staff, HR with travel oversight, and H&S/security practitioners in any sector who need to evaluate TRM performance and report clear findings.

What you will learn

• Plan, conduct, report and follow up internal audits of your TRM program against ISO 31030.
• Set up a simple TRM audit program (frequency, scope, roles, sampling) aligned to your travel risk profile.
• Apply a process-auditing lens across the travel journey (pre-trip → during travel → post-trip) to test real-world effectiveness.
• Write incisive, reliable reports: clear evidence, balanced conclusions, actionable follow-up.
• Link auditing to Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) so findings translate into sustained improvement and integrate into broader elements of your management system.
