Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the level of risk assumed by banks to the capital they must maintain, while financial institutions are progressively adopting risk-based management models. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and global markets grow more complex, effective risk management faces escalating challenges.

Historical events within the banking sector are referenced throughout to illustrate failures in risk management and to highlight potential actions that could have mitigated losses.

This instructor-led live training, held in France (online or onsite), is tailored for intermediate-level professionals aiming to develop a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and resolving issues through RCA methodologies.

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

• Understand the fundamental concepts of RCA and continuous improvement cycles.
• Apply diverse RCA tools to identify the root causes of problems.
• Develop and implement effective problem-solving strategies.
• Integrate RCA into organizational improvement and prevention efforts.

The primary objective of this program is to shift the audit approach from a reactive "finding" mode to a proactive "prevention" strategy. 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 resulting recommendation provides a permanent 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 in financial processes lead to cumulative leakages that increase over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls instead of 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 in France (online or onsite) targets intermediate-level internal auditors looking to enhance 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 aimed at intermediate-level safety professionals and operational managers who wish to enhance their ability to investigate incidents, identify systemic weaknesses, and design effective corrective and preventive actions.
