D: Training

The auditor will prepare in the working papers the organizational chart for the
agrichemical warehouse. Those employees who are directly involved in receiving
products, shipping (including those who process shipping orders) and the storage
(managing thewarehouse) will all be involved in the training process. This will
also include temporary employees or part time employees. Any employee,
including the owner or manager, who handles products will be included. This
organizational chart is necessary during the audit so the auditor can track the
movement of employees and therefore can track the training activities of new or
transferred employees.
