Integrated Risk & Corporate Governance
35 HoursOverview
Regulators across the globe are increasingly linking the level of risk a bank assumes to the capital it must hold, and financial institutions are progressively adopting risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulations, and the global marketplace grow more complex, the challenges of effective risk management intensify.

- an exploration of the challenges risk managers may encounter in the future
The course makes extensive use of case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at banks will be used throughout the course to highlight how they failed to manage their risks and what actions could have been taken to prevent losses.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for Internal Audit
7 HoursThe primary objective of this programme is to shift the audit process from a reactive approach of merely 'finding' faults to a proactive strategy of 'prevention'. By mastering Root Cause Analysis, the Internal Audit team will specifically target the elimination of recurring findings. This ensures that once a weakness is identified, the resulting recommendation offers a permanent solution, thereby protecting the company’s operational efficiency and financial integrity.
Failing to implement structured RCA creates a high-risk environment characterised by:
- Financial Erosion: Unresolved root causes within financial processes result in cumulative financial leakages that escalate over time.
- Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls, rather than focusing on new strategic risks.
- Diminished Authority: Repeatedly reporting the same issues undermines the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.
