Project BYCZ08-244Interreg Bavaria – Czech Republic
About the project
The project strengthens cross-border higher education between Bavaria and the Czech Republic. Students combine theory with practical audit procedures and develop e-learning modules and haptic simulations focused on management audit in an international environment.
- Project duration
- 1 Sep 2025 – 31 Aug 2028

Two approaches to management audit, one training concept
Management audits in German and Czech organisations follow different approaches. The differences are reflected in the methodology, the objectives and the course of the audit.
The project brings both approaches together in a training concept developed in cooperation with companies from both regions. It combines the strengths of both methods and prepares students for cross-border management audits.
What the project will deliver in three years
120management auditors
Professionally trained for the industrial environment.
12e-learning modules
Interactive modules for department, process and system audits.
3haptic simulations
With the same focus as the e-learning modules.
1white paper
Developed with students and academic experts.
Throughout its duration, the project is accompanied by scientific research and publications.
Six semesters, three audit areas
In the winter semester, students learn the theory and collect data from companies. In the summer semester, they use it to develop e-learning modules and haptic simulations.

Target groups and benefits
Students
Students at OTH Amberg-Weiden and VŠTE receive practical preparation for cross-border management audits and broaden their opportunities for professional development.
Companies from Bavaria and the Czech Republic
They contribute to the training concept and provide data from practice. They gain auditors trained for the industrial environment.
Professional community
The e-learning modules, haptic simulations and white paper will remain available to anyone else interested in management audit.
