The programme situates internal audit within the governance of a bank, including its relationship with the board and the audit committee and the professional standards that protect its independence.
Participants build a risk based annual plan and then apply it to two demanding areas, the credit process and the compliance and financial crime framework. Fieldwork technique is covered to the extent needed to gather evidence that will withstand challenge.
The final sequence concerns report writing and, above all, the follow up that determines whether recommendations change anything. Participants leave able to run an audit assignment end to end.
Who it is for
