Delivered by a facilitator, this live program in Italy (available either virtually or in-person) is tailored for mid-career professionals seeking to refine their ability to pinpoint, examine, and resolve issues through systematic RCA techniques.

Upon completion, attendees will have the capability to:

• Grasp the fundamental principles of RCA and the cycle of continuous improvement.
• Utilize diverse RCA instruments to pinpoint the underlying origins of issues.
• Formulate and deploy robust strategies for resolving challenges.
• Weave RCA principles into broader organizational efforts for enhancement and risk prevention.

The core aim of this program is to shift the audit process from a reactive "finding" model to a proactive "prevention" strategy. Through the mastery of Root Cause Analysis, Internal Audit teams can focus on eradicating recurring findings. This ensures that when a vulnerability is pinpointed, the proposed solution offers a permanent remedy, preserving both operational efficiency and financial soundness.

Opting not to implement structured RCA introduces a high-risk scenario:

• Financial Erosion: Persistent root causes in financial operations cause leaks that accumulate and worsen over time.
• Resource Drain: Auditors spend an additional 40% of their time re-auditing known control failures rather than addressing new strategic risks.
• Loss of Prestige: The repeated reporting of identical issues undermines the Audit Division’s standing with senior leadership and auditees.

This instructor-led, live training in Italy (delivered online or onsite) is tailored for intermediate-level internal auditors looking to boost their audit efficacy by leveraging structured RCA techniques.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be equipped to:

• Comprehend RCA methodologies and their significance in the internal auditing context.
• Identify and examine the root causes behind audit findings.
• Employ RCA instruments such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Create corrective and preventive action plans grounded in RCA results.
• Incorporate RCA into the internal audit cycle to enhance risk management practices.
