CBA is pleased to announce our second annual school for bank internal auditors.  For 2012 we’ve added more exercises and a case study “class project”.

The demands placed on your institution’s internal auditor increases each year due to new technical requirements and evolving risk management theory. Whether you’re a new internal auditor, looking for a cost effective update on current internal auditing trends, or want to incorporate the latest in regulatory developments into your internal audit scopes, this four day training course is the perfect venue.

In this four-day program we’ll cover the basics of internal auditing in financial institutions in the first two days and will focus on more advanced techniques and the latest developments in regulatory trends during the last two days.  We will also include a forum with your fellow internal audit professionals.

Who Should Attend
