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.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp essential RCA concepts and continuous improvement cycles.
• Utilize various RCA tools to pinpoint the root causes of problems.
• Formulate and execute effective problem-solving strategies.
• Incorporate RCA into organizational initiatives for improvement and prevention.

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.

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.
