Confederations’ Development Programme

Why?The Confederations’ Development Programme rises to ensure consistent level of service quality provided by our Confederations through constructing an auditing system that will measure their development and will allow the implementation of quality measures and practices.

In the end...The first results will be presented for the members and partners at one of the largest JADE Congresses – JADE Spring Meeting 2010 (4th – 7th March), hosted in Brussels and attended by more than 200 Junior Entrepreneurs.

What?Using an evaluation grid, the project audits 15 European National Confederations in order to collect information and create a platform that will provided an environment for knowledge transfer between our members. The principles ‘learning from each other’, ‘exchanging and sharing’ and ‘together we grow’ are the main guidelines for the implementation of the project.

What is an audit?

The general definition of an audit is an evaluation of a person, organisation, system, process, enterprise, project or product. Audits are performed to ascertain the validity and reliability of information; also to provide an assessment of a system's internal control. The goal of an audit is to express an opinion on the person, organisation or system in question, under evaluation based on work done on a test basis. Due to practical constraints, an audit seeks to provide only reasonable assurance that the statements are free from material error.

New concepts

Traditionally, audits were mainly associated with gaining information about financial systems and the financial records of a company or a business. However, recent auditing has begun to include other information about the system, such as information about security risks, information systems performance (beyond financial systems), and environmental performance.
