Overview

In today's global landscape, regulators are increasingly tying the amount of risk a bank assumes to the capital it must hold. Consequently, banks and financial institutions are shifting toward risk-based management practices. As banks, their product lines, regulatory frameworks, and the global market grow more complex, effective risk management faces mounting challenges. A crucial insight from the banking crisis of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; to manage them efficiently, banks must understand these interactions.

Key features of this course include:

• an explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a detailed examination of the primary risks banks face

• the use of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture, ensuring active participation in risk management aligned with the bank’s strategic objectives
• an exploration of potential challenges for risk managers in the future

Throughout the five-day course, extensive use is made of case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas presented. Historical banking events will be analyzed to highlight failures in risk management and to discuss actions that could have prevented losses.

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

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand essential concepts of RCA and continuous improvement cycles.
• Apply different RCA tools to identify the root cause of problems.
• Develop and implement effective problem-solving strategies.
• Integrate RCA into organizational improvement and prevention efforts.

The primary objective of this program is to shift the audit process from a reactive approach focused merely on "identifying" issues to a proactive strategy centered on "preventing" them. By mastering Root Cause Analysis, the Internal Audit team can specifically target the elimination of recurring findings. This ensures that once a weakness is identified, the recommendations provide a permanent solution, thereby safeguarding the organization's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

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

• Financial Erosion: Unresolved root causes in financial processes lead to cumulative leakages that increase over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls instead of focusing on new strategic risks.
• Diminished Authority: Repeatedly reporting the same issues weakens the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.

This instructor-led, live training in Czech Republic (online or onsite) targets intermediate-level internal auditors aiming to enhance their audit efficacy through structured RCA techniques.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand RCA methodologies and their role in internal auditing.
• Identify and analyze the root causes of audit findings.
• Apply RCA tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Develop corrective and preventive action plans based on RCA findings.
• Integrate RCA into the internal audit process to improve risk management.

This instructor-led, live training (available online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level safety professionals and operational managers seeking to strengthen their capabilities in investigating incidents, identifying systemic vulnerabilities, and designing effective corrective and preventive measures.
