As organizations further their reliance on third party service providers, regulatory bodies around the world have increased their level of scrutiny regarding third party provider’s abilities to properly protect sensitive and internally used data and information assets. Today’s organizations are expected to demonstrate strong, third-party governance and risk management. Organizations that establish a third-party management program gain and maintain a clear understanding of their external provider’s controls and shortcomings through analysis of Statement of Control (SOC) reports, contract administration, service level agreement (SLA) reporting, and annual third-party risk assessments. Internal auditors need a basic understanding of third party risk. Without this knowledge, internal auditors may not fully comprehend IT objectives and the associated risks inherent in using third parties, and may lack the ability to assess or audit the design or effectiveness of controls related to those risks. The self-study Auditing Third-Party IT Risk course delivers an introduction to third-party risk concepts, and emphasizes the significant role that the business units and IT play in establishing and maintaining third-party relationships. Further, this course guides internal auditors in building proficiencies for assessing third-party vendors. Learning Objective(s): List the elements and attributes of third-party risk management. Explain risks and controls associated with contracting third parties. Describe the areas where internal audit can monitor third parties.

Auditing Market Risk

Market risk is a key risk for financial services organizations.

In addition, an organization’s board has direct responsibility on market risk oversight and governance, so internal audit should provide it with independent assurance in conformance with the Standards. This course provides internal auditors with a baseline skill-set necessary to test and evaluate the effectiveness of the organization’s market risk management framework and processes.

Culture and conduct play a pivotal role in the well-being of an organization. Organizations with a culture based on strong values have a higher probability of successfully achieving their business objectives and retaining high-performance employees.

Internal audit, as the third line of defense in an organization’s governance framework, is uniquely positioned to assist an organization in establishing a strong tone-at-the-top by evaluating and reporting on its culture and conduct. This course is intended to assist internal auditors in understanding and evaluating the overarching culture of an organization and using their knowledge to provide value-added insight to various stakeholders.
