It highlights the importance of monitoring progress, escalating issues when necessary, and recognising opportunities that arise from risks, such as improving operations or developing new markets. The process involves continuous assessment, recording actions, and ensuring that responses are proportionate and effective in addressing both risks and opportunities.

Auditors assess leadership by examining policy establishment, communication, resource allocation, and how well management promotes the system’s goals. Ultimately, effective leadership means actively demonstrating the importance of meeting customer expectations.
