Wiki Chart Auditing Liability

[mstenochs]

My employer is considering expanding our EMR company by offering a chart audting service. My question is what is the liability that would accompany such an endevour? Since I am the one who would be doing the auditing I am very concerned with this . Also, I know that there are several courses available for learning more about auditing but does anyone have any ideas on what is the best auditing course? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
