Programme brief

Risk management is widely recognised as crucial for effective corporate governance. Organisations must identify and manage all their business risks, including social, environmental, financial and operational risks, bringing the risk to an acceptable level. However, each organisation is unique, with varied organisational structures and attitudes towards risk management, processes and procedures, and various differing regulatory requirements to subscribe to and comply with.

Internal auditors must therefore adapt to the peculiarities of their organisations and adequately respond to the identified risks and to the needs of interested parties.

This course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of risk-based internal auditing (RBIA), a critical function in ensuring organisational success and compliance. Participants will learn how to assess risks and plan and conduct internal audits that are targeted at addressing the most significant risks that their organisation faces.

   
Course content

This training will equip participants to:

• apply the key concepts of risk-based internal auditing (RBIA) to their organisation
• link the organisation's risk management framework to each stage of the RBIA process
• develop and communicate an RBIA plan
• apply a risk-based methodology to internal audit assignments
• provide meaningful assurance statements to various stakeholder groups

Who should attend?

• Heads of internal audit
• Internal audit managers
• Senior internal auditors 
• Audit officers (external and internal)
• Any persons interested in understanding and providing assurance on risk and controls

It is essential for internal auditors to stay ahead of the risk landscape, to be able to adopt effective and efficient audit plans and practices to meet the changing needs of stakeholders.

We look forward to meeting you at the training and equipping you with the needed risk-based internal auditing techniques. Join the session with an inquiring mind, and be ready to learn, impact and be impacted.
