35 HoursOverview
Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the volume of risk a bank undertakes to the capital it must hold. Consequently, banks and financial service firms are shifting towards risk-based management practices.

A crucial lesson from the banking crisis of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; to manage them efficiently, banks must understand these interdependencies.

7 HoursThis program aims to shift the audit process from a reactive "finding" activity to a proactive "prevention" strategy.

- 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.
