Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for Internal Audit

 7 Hours

This programme aims to shift the internal audit process from a reactive approach of identifying issues to a proactive strategy focused on prevention. By mastering Root Cause Analysis, the Internal Audit team can effectively eliminate recurring findings. This approach ensures that when a control weakness is identified, the resulting recommendations provide a lasting solution, thereby protecting the company’s operational efficiency and financial integrity.

Failing to adopt a structured RCA approach exposes the organisation to significant risks:

  • Financial Leakage: Unaddressed root causes in financial processes result in accumulating losses that worsen over time.
  • Inefficient Use of Resources: Auditors dedicate a significant amount of extra time to re-examining failed controls rather than addressing new strategic risks.
  • Reduced Influence: Repeatedly flagging the same issues diminishes the credibility and impact of the Audit Division among senior management and the audited entities.
