This instructor-led, live training in Patras (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.
