Sequence improvements to banking IT audit so that each step makes the next one easier.
Managing Information Technology Audit Programmes in the Banking Sector
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to banking IT audit.
Course Overview
The audit trail behind banking IT audit matters as much as the decision itself. Growth built on poorly controlled the wider financial and banking practice agenda reverses faster than it accumulated. Buying a tool rarely fixes this part of financial and banking practice; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what banking IT audit has actually achieved. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this area of financial and banking practice it covers ends in something applicable. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the wider financial and banking practice agenda is examined from more than one functional angle. Where banking IT audit is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the financial and banking practice discipline and supervised application. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of financial and banking practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
