Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the capital banks must hold to the level of risk they undertake. Consequently, banks and financial service providers are shifting toward risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulations, and the global market grow more complex, the challenges of effective risk management intensify.

• Analysis of potential challenges risk managers may face in the future

The course extensively utilizes case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at banks are used throughout to highlight failures in risk management and discuss actions that could have been taken to prevent losses.

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 (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level safety professionals and operational managers seeking to improve their skills in investigating incidents, identifying systemic weaknesses, and designing effective corrective and preventive actions.
