Control Design and Testing Auditing and Assurance
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is written from the assurance side. Delegates learn to test whether control design and business continuity planning are working as claimed, and how to evidence the conclusion. Assurance work is under scrutiny because compliance obligations have multiplied faster than compliance capacity. Delegates leave able to work confidently with risk appetite and tolerance, operational risk and compliance monitoring in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about risk appetite and tolerance without waiting for a specialist, measured against the three lines model
- Bring operational risk into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of compliance monitoring rather than escalating it
- Spot where risk reporting to the board is failing before it becomes a finding
