Overview

Across the globe regulators are increasingly linking the amount of risk taken by a bank to the amount of capital it is required to hold and banks and financial services are increasingly being managed on risk-based management practices. The banks, their products, the regulations and the global market are becoming increasingly complex, driving ever greater challenges in effective risk management. A key lesson of the banking crisis of the last five years is that risks are highly integrated and to manage them efficiently banks have to understand these interactions.

Key features include:

• the explanation of the current risk-based regulations
• detailed review of the major risks faced by banks
• industry best practices for adopting an enterprise approach to integrating risk management across an entire organisation
• using governance techniques to build a group wide culture to ensure everyone takes an active role in managing risks in line with the banks strategic objectives
• what challenges could be faced by risk managers in the future.

The course will make extensive use of case studies designed to explore, examine and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at banks will be used throughout the course to highlight how they have failed to manage their risks and actions that could have been taken to prevent loss.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The NobleProg course “Result-Based Management” is designed to benefit experienced managers from any specialism within your organisation who have responsibility for successful execution of programmes and projects. It will develop high level managerial skills that are vital in achieving and sustaining continuous performance improvement.

This training course will particularly benefit the following professionals:

• Strategic and Operational Planning Specialists
• Supply Chain and Logistics Team Members
• Financial Managers
• Marketing and Business Development Staff
• Human Resource Managers

The primary objective of this program is to shift the audit process from a reactive approach focused on identifying issues to a proactive strategy centered on prevention. By mastering Root Cause Analysis, the Internal Audit team will focus on eliminating recurring findings. This ensures that when a weakness is identified, the recommendations offer a lasting solution, thereby protecting the company's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

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

• Financial Erosion: Unaddressed root causes in financial processes result in cumulative losses that increase over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls rather than focusing on new strategic risks.
• Diminished Authority: Continuously reporting the same issues weakens the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.

This instructor-led, live training in Serbia (available online or onsite) is intended for intermediate-level internal auditors aiming to boost their audit effectiveness through the application of structured RCA techniques.

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

• Grasp RCA methodologies and their role in internal auditing.
• Identify and analyze the root causes of audit findings.
• Apply RCA tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Develop corrective and preventive action plans based on RCA findings.
• Integrate RCA into the internal audit process to improve risk management.

This instructor-led, live training (available online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level safety professionals and operational managers seeking to enhance their skills in investigating incidents, identifying systemic weaknesses, and developing effective corrective and preventive actions.

Learning Outcomes:

• Designed as an intensive one-day program, this course empowers participants to achieve the following upon completion:
  • Articulate the definition, sources, and business implications of risk, significantly enhancing their subject matter awareness.
  • Provide examples of strategies that enable the organization to constrain, and ideally eradicate, potential risks.
  • Proactively anticipate potential risks and operational challenges.
  • Utilize a variety of methodologies to detect, mitigate, and control risk.
  • Work with internal teams to bolster the organization's overall risk management framework.

Overview:

This course presents the key components of a contemporary risk management process by guiding participants through the construction of a Safety Management System (SMS). It illustrates how these elements can be leveraged to control risk within modern socio-technical environments. Establishing an effective SMS has become a widely adopted methodology for managing risk in complex, safety-critical systems. Participants will gain the capability to design and adapt safety and risk frameworks tailored to their specific areas of expertise. Although the concept of an SMS is well-established, it is increasingly mandated by regulations and accreditation bodies across high-performance industries. The curriculum utilizes SMS frameworks from high residual-risk sectors as benchmarks. These principles are examined by consultant practitioners who blend theoretical knowledge with extensive practical experience. The course also explores the distinctions and intersections between SMS and other management systems, such as Quality and Environmental frameworks.

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

• Comprehend the fundamental principles of safety management systems.
• Identify strategies to mitigate the impact of new and emerging technologies by applying SMS principles.
• Develop the structure of their own Safety & Risk Management System against a benchmark.
