Course Overview
In finance the difference between a healthy position on external audit coordination and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over this strand of financial and banking practice. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the financial and banking practice capability and the judgement to adapt it. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting external audit coordination, ready to be adapted internally. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this strand of financial and banking practice. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this aspect of financial and banking practice is examined, not just described. The version of external audit coordination described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Organisations that document this strand of financial and banking practice properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Participants leave with a plan for the financial and banking practice discipline sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
