COURSE OVERVIEW:

The Board of Directors and Senior Management look to internal audit (IA)
to help them manage enterprise risks. Heads of Internal Audit and staff
thus have an opportunity to add tremendous value to their banks by taking
a proactive approach to risk. Using case studies, group discussions and
facilitator presentations, this interactive one-day course will provide
the participants with a solid understanding of risk-based audit approach
and methodologies they can utilize to develop a risk-based audit plan
(RBAP) tailored to their Bank’s needs.
Furthermore, participants will come to understand the importance of
corporate governance and enterprise risk management, while learning to
identify risks, perform risk assessments, develop a risk-based assurance
plan, understand entity-wide controls, and plan a risk-based engagement.

• Identify the components of a risk-based audit approach;
• Adopt practical methods for building a risk-based audit plan (RBAP);
