Overview
The financial services sector represents a challenge to internal auditors. Banks have created risk functions with ever increasing responsibilities This course looks at the risk function and considers the approach that internal auditors should adopt when auditing this function.

Risk departments of banks have become increasingly complex driven by the demands of regulation and the business. This level of increase in sophistication has accelerated in recent years as many banks have created risk functions with ever increasing responsibilities.

Since the internal audit function needs to address all areas of a financial institution, including risk management, this provides risk management with additional challenges. This 5-day course looks at the risk function and considers the approach that internal auditors should adopt when auditing this function. The course is modular by nature with the first day focusing on the general approach to be adopted when approaching the risk management function and the audit of key areas of common interest to all risk areas. The subsequent four days are separable and consider the audit of:

  • Enterprise Risk
  • Operational risk
  • Credit risk
  • Market risk
  • Liquidity risk

The course refers to the Basel 3 and Basel 2 papers, the IIA Three Line Model and the BIS Operational Resilience papers where appropriate as well as regulations in consultation as to their potential impact on internal audit.

"{The trainer] was very knowledgeable and able to give opinions across a wide variety of subjects. Very well informed. "
Sumitomo Mitsui Bank Corporation, New York
Who Should Attend

Designed primarily for bank internal auditors, risk managers, bank IT auditors and HR managers supporting those business functions and for CAE/CIA’s seeking to ensure up-to-the-minute, uniform standards and international best practise across the modern bank’s audit function.

All delegates who complete the course will receive a Certificate in Bank Internal Audit with 40 CPD/CPE credits accredited by CPD UK.
