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'.

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.
