Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the level of risk a bank assumes to the capital it must hold, while banks and financial institutions are progressively adopting risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and the global market become more complex, effective risk management faces growing challenges. A critical lesson 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 include:

• an explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a detailed review of the major risks banks face
• industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrate risk management across the entire organisation
• the use of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture where everyone actively participates in managing risks in alignment with the bank’s strategic objectives
• an exploration of the challenges risk managers may encounter in the future

The course extensively utilises case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at various banks will be analysed throughout the course to highlight failures in risk management and the actions that could have been taken to prevent losses.

Objectives

The primary objective of this course is to assist bank management in delivering an appropriate integrated strategy for managing complex and evolving risks and regulations in today’s international banking environment. Specifically, this course aims to provide senior-level management with an understanding of:

• major risks within the financial industry and the key international risk regulations
• how to manage a bank’s assets and liabilities while maximising returns
• the interactions between different risk types and how banks utilise an integrated approach for management
• corporate governance and best practice approaches for managing the diverse interests of stakeholders
• how to cultivate a culture of risk governance as a tool for minimising unnecessary risk-taking

• Board-level bank management
• Senior managers
• Senior risk managers and analysts
• Senior directors and risk managers responsible for strategic risk management

This instructor-led, live training in South Africa (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 programme is to shift the audit approach from a reactive 'finding' exercise to a proactive 'prevention' strategy. 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 organisation'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 losses 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 South Africa (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level internal auditors who wish to enhance their audit effectiveness by applying structured RCA techniques.

By the end 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 aimed at intermediate-level safety professionals and operational managers who wish to enhance their ability to investigate incidents, identify systemic weaknesses, and design effective corrective and preventive actions.
