Description
Introduction
The standards of the IIA (Institute of Internal Auditors - in Luxembourg) and the objectives of internal controls highlight the importance for auditors to add value to the organization by having a methodical and structured approach. The evolution to the digitalisation requires banks to prepare their business processes to these radical changes. The goal is to move from the current process to a process that will prepare more automation. Therefore the objective of internal control, which requires auditors to give an assurance on the efficient use of resources and the accomplishment of the bank’s strategy and objectives, is becoming critical for auditors also to respond to the need of the Board and Audit Committee members. Data structure is also strategic and an in-depth analysis of the processes and data quality is an imperative to align with the new business models and the new 3 Lines of Defense model developed in 2019 by the IIA. The importance of operational risk measurement and collection of data errors requires new techniques for auditors.
Objectives
The purpose of this course is to expose participants to some of the best quantitative and qualitative tools as well as Lean Six Sigma tools that can be used during the planning and fieldwork phases of an internal audit to enhance audit effectiveness, provide deeper insight into business operations, and identify process streamlining opportunities. These tools can be used independently or in conjunction with existing audit methodologies, tools, and techniques. Participants will have the opportunity to practice and apply the skills learned during the course through case study and exercises, which should enable them to integrate the tools and techniques into their audit engagement activities. The course includes also methodology to audit financial models.
Programme
This programme is divided into 8 online sessions of 3 hours each. Excel tools will be provided to participants for a full practical experience.
