The session reviews Russell Bedford International’s inspection results, recurring audit-quality weaknesses, ISQM performance and the enhanced inspection approach planned for 2027.

This session explores how ISQM will form part of grading for 2027 inspections, alongside closer scrutiny of AQR submissions, root cause analysis, audit quality indicators, transnational audits and targeted remediation. The network is developing support through partnerships such as Mercia, Inflow and Platformer 365, while a quality strategy is also being considered.
