CANCELLED: Practical Application of Key Root Cause Analysis Techniques

Kuvaus

Building on the one-day introduction to RCA, this new one-day course helps guide audit teams on how they can apply RCA key techniques in practice.

The IIA Glibal Internal Audit Standards (GIAS) requires that Internal Auditors implement a methodology for Root Cause Analysis (RCA) as part of their documented audit methodology. It also requires that they report root causes and best practices to senior leaders and the board/audit committee.

Building on the one-day introduction to RCA, this new one-day course helps guide audit teams on how they can apply RCA key techniques in practice.

You might also consider joining the online course Incorporating Root Cause Analysis into an Audit Methodology and work programmes on November 18th.
