Leading Combined Assurance Teams
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers internal audit interface and combined assurance from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because risk registers are widely maintained and rarely used in an actual decision, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with operational risk, risk identification and control testing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring operational risk into line with current good practice, measured against the three lines model
- Take ownership of risk identification rather than escalating it
- Review control testing and say plainly whether it is working
- Spot where risk appetite and tolerance is failing before it becomes a finding
