European Union Regulations

The recent economic landscape in the European Union (EU) has brought recovery to corporate activities which has reduced many of the worst fears about economic scarring and rising credit risk. The markets for equity and risky assets have maintained a striking buoyancy, making them more prone to new regulations and supervision. 

Amidst the complexities and changes, financial institutions must carry on; as such the internal audit function plays a crucial role in the ongoing maintenance and assessment of a bank’s internal control, risk management, and governance systems and processes – areas in which supervisory authorities have a keen interest. Both internal auditors and supervisors use risk-based approaches to determine their respective work plans and actions. 

This course explores the fundamentals of the regulatory environment in the EU and Eurozone/Euro area, the banking risk frameworks, international compliance and supervisory mechanisms that bolsters the internal audit’s key position in enabling solid communication, organizational governance, and compliance. The Institute of Internal Auditors International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) serves as the bedrock from which transparent guidelines stem, providing a practical approach to sound and responsible internal audit activity.

Internal Control

Essentially, there are few activities within an organization that are more important to its success than maintaining internal control.

This course introduces learners to types of controls, and how to interpret internal control concepts and types of controls. It describes the impact of organizational culture on the overall control environment and identifies the impact of organizational culture on individual engagement risks and controls. Finally, learners will gain an understanding of how to use an internal control framework to examine the effectiveness and efficiency of internal controls, and to apply globally accepted internal control frameworks appropriate to the organization.
