Two decades after the start of the new HRD function, gaps have been found in understanding, structuring, disseminating and implementing good HRD in several corporations. In order to enhance the impact of HRD, a systematic review and evaluation of HRD systems, practices, competencies of HRD staff and other stakeholders was invented in early nineties and was called as “HRD Audit”.
