Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the level of risk banks undertake to the capital they must hold, while the financial services sector is increasingly adopting risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and the global market grow more complex, managing risk effectively has become increasingly challenging. A crucial insight from the banking crisis of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; to manage them efficiently, banks must understand these interactions.

Key features include:

• an explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a detailed review of the primary risks banks face
• industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management
• using governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture where everyone actively participates in managing risks in line with strategic objectives
• an exploration of potential challenges future risk managers may encounter.

The course extensively uses case studies to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at banks will be used throughout to highlight failures in risk management and the actions that could have prevented losses.

Objectives

This course aims to assist bank management in delivering an appropriate integrated strategy for managing the complex and evolving risks and regulations in today’s international banking environment. Specifically, it seeks to provide senior management with an understanding of:

• major risks within the financial industry and key international risk regulations
• how to manage a bank’s assets and liabilities while maximising returns
• the interaction between different risk types and how banks use an integrated approach to manage them
• corporate governance and best practice approaches to managing the diverse interests of stakeholders
• how to cultivate a culture of risk governance to minimise unnecessary risk-taking.

• Board-level bank management

This instructor-led, live training in Malaysia (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level professionals who wish to develop a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and resolving problems using RCA methodologies.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand essential concepts of RCA and continuous improvement cycles.
• Apply different RCA tools to identify the root cause of problems.
• Develop and implement effective problem-solving strategies.
• Integrate RCA into organizational improvement and prevention efforts.

This programme aims to shift the audit process from a reactive approach focused on merely identifying issues to a proactive strategy centred on prevention. By mastering Root Cause Analysis, the Internal Audit team can specifically target and eliminate recurring findings. This ensures that recommendations offer permanent solutions once a weakness is identified, thereby protecting the company's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

Failing to implement structured RCA creates a high-risk environment:

• Financial Erosion: Unresolved root causes within financial processes lead to cumulative leakages that increase over time.
• 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.

This instructor-led, live training in Malaysia (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level internal auditors who wish to enhance their audit effectiveness by applying structured RCA techniques.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp RCA methodologies and their significance in internal auditing.
• Identify and analyse the root causes behind audit findings.
• Utilise RCA tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Formulate corrective and preventive action plans grounded in RCA insights.
• Incorporate RCA into the internal audit workflow to enhance risk management.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level safety professionals and operational managers who wish to enhance their ability to investigate incidents, identify systemic weaknesses, and design effective corrective and preventive actions.
