This instructor-led, live training in Greece (available either online or in-person) is designed for intermediate-level professionals seeking to cultivate a systematic approach to identifying, analysing, and resolving problems using RCA methodologies.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be capable of:

• Grasping the core concepts of RCA and continuous improvement cycles.
• Utilising various RCA tools to pinpoint the root causes of problems.
• Developing and executing effective problem-solving strategies.
• Integrating RCA into organisational improvement and preventive initiatives.

The primary objective of this programme is to shift the audit approach from a reactive exercise of 'finding' faults to a proactive strategy focused on '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 recommendations provide a lasting solution, thereby safeguarding the company's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

Failing to implement structured RCA creates a high-risk environment:

• Financial Erosion: Unresolved root causes within financial processes lead to cumulative leakages that worsen 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 weakens the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.

This instructor-led, live training session in Greece (online or onsite) targets intermediate-level internal auditors who wish to improve their audit effectiveness through the application of structured RCA techniques.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand RCA methodologies and their role in internal auditing.
• Identify and analyze the root causes of audit findings.
• Apply RCA tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Develop corrective and preventive action plans based on RCA findings.
• Integrate RCA into the internal audit process to improve risk management.

This instructor-led live training, available online or on-site, is designed for intermediate-level safety professionals and operational managers looking to enhance their ability to investigate incidents, identify systemic weaknesses, and design effective corrective and preventive actions.
