"A very useful course. An excellent lecturer! We should invite this lecturer again in the future."Audit Manager, Bank of New York Mellon, Taiwan
Compliance is everywhere in banking and fundamental to the way that a bank operates. Regulations arise from different sources and banks need to take an integrated approach to ensure that all matters are appropriately dealt with.
This course enables delegates to have confidence that they are able to audit compliance issues, adding value to their organisation and providing the necessary assurance that management requires including the audit of key compliance issues and their control within banking. It begins with considering how to audit compliance and the key areas of risk including the governance aspects and then deals with a number of the key elements of compliance including elements of conduct risk, financial crime deterrence and sanctions risk.
Using in-class group development of audit programmes to take away, delegates will learn how to audit data issues and also a range of other significant compliance issues building a series of detailed audit programs which will support their future work in this area.
"The instructor was extremely knowledgeable of the subject matter. Most of the information was presented under the pretense that we were all familiar with the content and he managed to make everyone participate. Lots of content squeezed into a small window. We could always benefit from additional time to cover various areas in more depth. The instructor did a nice job presenting the content given the time and class structure that he was presented with."Senior Audit Manager, USA Bank
