Auditing Credit Risk

Credit risk is a key risk for financial services organizations and, for a good number of organizations, maybe the most critical risk. Regulators and regulatory supervisors are focused on this risk, emphasizing the necessity of having accurate models that can measure the capital impact of credit activities, the risk of leveraged finance, and the great importance of counterparty risk. New requirements and supervisors’ expanded expectations are giving internal audit a more relevant and active role in the assessment of credit risk. In addition, the organization’s board of directors has responsibility for credit risk oversight and governance, and internal audit should provide the board with independent assurance regarding the organization’s credit risk management efforts.

This course provides internal auditors with a baseline skill set necessary to test and evaluate the effectiveness of the organization’s credit risk management framework and processes.

Assessing Fraud Risk

This course equips internal auditors and fraud risk practitioners with a solid understanding of local and global effects of fraud in organizations. As fraud risks and fraudulent activities continue to play a role in an organization’s overall financial and reputational stability, the recognition of current trends in fraudulent acts will grant internal auditors the advantage of fostering detective and preventive measures to safeguard the integrity of a business, its shareholders, products, services, and workforce. 

In its 2020 Report to the Nations, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) calculated that businesses lost an estimated $3.6 billion in fraud cases globally, which stresses the necessity to modernize and standardize reporting pathways to thwart risks, and fraud intents. By incorporating The IIA Standards into risk and fraud assessments, the process of maintaining a cohesive and transparent risk management engagement is streamlined for the continuation of businesses and their operations.
