Financial services in the European Union is a complex, highly regulated, and rapidly changing industry. Swift advances in technology, heightened regulator and consumer expectations, volatile risks, and globally interconnected financial economies have reshaped the business of financial services. As risks, opportunities, and disruptions in business strategies and operations unfold in banks, commercial real estate firms, insurance companies, and investment management firms, internal auditors must be prepared to continue to provide independent assurance and advisory services to enhance and protect organizational value.

EU Financial Services for Internal Auditors Certificate, a facilitator-led specialty certificate program, will provide you with critical intelligence, guidance, and practical applications to advance a career in financial services internal auditing. The program includes a general financial services foundations unit followed by more in-depth training on liquidity, model risk management, fraud, culture and conduct, and other mission-critical topics. CFS-EU adds an EU regulation specific module in the syllabus of the original certificate (IIA CFS).
