Governance, Risk Management & Compliance (GRC) Fundamentals Training Course

Description:

Basel III represents a comprehensive global regulatory framework focused on bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Initially established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2010–11, the Accord’s implementation timeline has been extended to March 31, 2019. This framework enhances bank capital requirements by boosting liquidity reserves and reducing leverage ratios.
Unlike Basel I & II, Basel III introduces differentiated reserve requirements based on the specific types of deposits and borrowings, functioning alongside its predecessors rather than entirely replacing them. Navigating this intricate and evolving regulatory landscape can be challenging. Our course and training programs are designed to assist you in managing potential regulatory shifts and their implications for your institution. As an accredited training partner of the Basel Certification Institute, we guarantee that our materials and training quality remain current, relevant, and effective.

This instructor-led, live training in Norway (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level professionals who wish to develop a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and resolving problems using RCA methodologies.

The primary objective of this programme is to shift the audit function from a reactive approach focused on 'identifying issues' to a proactive strategy centred on 'preventing problems'. By mastering Root Cause Analysis, the Internal Audit team will specifically focus on eliminating recurring findings. This ensures that once a weakness is identified, the recommendations offer a permanent solution, thereby protecting the organisation's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

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

• Financial Erosion: Unaddressed root causes in financial processes result in cumulative losses that increase over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls rather than concentrating on new strategic risks.
• Diminished Authority: Continuously reporting the same issues undermines the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.

This instructor-led, live training in Norway (online or in-person) is designed for intermediate-level internal auditors seeking to enhance their audit effectiveness by applying structured RCA techniques.

Upon completing this training, participants will be capable of:

• Comprehending RCA methodologies and their significance within internal auditing.
• Identifying and analyzing the root causes associated with audit findings.
• Utilizing RCA tools including the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Creating corrective and preventive action plans grounded in RCA insights.
• Incorporating RCA into the internal audit workflow to strengthen risk management.
