Yesterday (June 6), FDPPI conducted the First Induction Training for those who had empanelled as Independent Data Auditors. The program went on very well and the participants enjoyed the first of its kind program.
The Program started with an introductory talk from Naavi. Then a panel discussion on “Code of Ethics” was held. A second Panel discussion on Role of Independent Data Auditors followed.
Subsequently, some of the Advisors of AIDAI who were physically present. (Mr Rakesh Maheshwari, Sudarshan Mandyam and Mr Madhava Murthy) shard their valuable views.
Post Lunch, Dr Ramasastry Ambarish, Director of MYRA shared his thoughts on the involvement of Academic institutions in the development of Data Auditors. Mr Mahndra, CTO, of MYRA shared his views on some technical aspects of Data Breach management.
Then a third panel discussion on the Challenges of Independent Data Auditors was held. Finally an interesting role play was conduced on the “Case of Ramya”.
During the discussions, several new thoughts emerged and they will be discussed in due course.
An Audio track of the event was taken on record through the Zoom. A clean video recording is under development.
Some important suggestions that came up during the discussions which will be further discussed include
a) whether the Auditors should be voluntarily rotated after 2 or three years
b) Whether the share holders of a company should approve the appointment.
c) Whether Scoping of an Audit be done by some body other than the Management and the Auditor
d) Increasing the value of the FDPPI certifications by building Association with other Certification bodies and Academic institutions.
AIDAI will consider adopting some of these provisions into their activities.
