Level Zero Training Checksheets: Essentials of Auditing

4. ESSENTIALS OF AUDITING

There is a set of cassettes called the essentials of auditing. The full set consists of:

5ACC-25 3 May 54 Viewpoint Straightwire
8ACC-5A ren 4 7 Oct 54 Elementary Straightwire
3SACC-2 24 Jan 61 Presession 38
SHSBC-44 ren 48 23 Aug 61 Auditing Basics <essen. cass>
SHSBC-46 ren 50 29 Aug 61 Basics of Auditing <L1 cass><essen. cass>
SHSBC-49 ren 53 5 Sep 61 Principles of Auditing <essen. cass>
SHSBC-189 ren 209 18 Sep 62 Directing Pc's Attention <ess. cass.>
SHSBC-206 ren 235 1 Nov 62 The Missed Missed Withhold <L2 cass>
SHSBC-313 ren 344 16 Oct 63 The Itsa Maker Line
SH Spec-46 ren 410 10 Nov 64 PTPs, Overts and ARC Breaks <Ess. Cass>

See the tape master list for more information on tapes in general. Note that I carelessly didn't mark a few of these as being included in the essentials cassettes when I put together the master list.

The set is still available, but they are old style loose cassettes (without transcripts) rather than modern clear sound editions.

These are recommended for giving a good overview of modern auditing and it would be valuable to hear some or all of them before doing level 0 training.

Oddly enough, the tape called "Itsa Maker Line" was always part of the old level zero checksheet and was consider to be one of the most important lectures on the level. But when the original academy cassettes were issued, it was left out of the level zero cassettes because everybody was already getting it as part of the essentials cassettes. But the essentials cassettes were not an academy prerequisite and the series fell out of favor because it wasn't on clearsound, and as a result the orgs seem to have dropped this important tape from level 0.

Itsa stands for "It is a ..." and it is used in the context of getting the pc to identify things and say what they are rather than sitting in wonderment and uncertainty. There is more on this in Super Scio chapter 3.

Another essential which is not really well covered until class 3 training is the overrun phenomena and how to rehabilitate a release if it is bypassed. There are some basics in the "Auditor's Rights" bulletin in the level zero materials below, but it is a bit skimpy. And the full materials on handling overrun at level 3 are probably too much for a beginner because they aim at solving the problem of how to do it as a repair action (which is harder than fixing an overrun on the spot). Here I would recommend the simple introduction given in the early chapters of the self-clearing book in addition to the Auditor's Rights bulletin.
