Join us in Athens, Greece on 17 & 18 June for an intensive introduction to Operational Risk Management and Mitigation. This training course has been designed to provide a practical "hands-on" approach to participants which will furnish them with all the tools and techniques they need to begin implementing what they have learned almost as soon as they return to the office.

The underlying course philosophy is to move the participants beyond the largely theoretical international compliance requirements for operational risk, and into an understanding of the practice of operational risk management and an ability to actually implement these procedures.

As the size and complexity of financial institutions has increased, so too have the challenges of understanding and reducing operational risks down to truly manageable levels. Increased regulatory concern and scrutiny have also increased the cost of operational risk events in the shape of outright financial loss, regulatory fines

The objectives of this training course is to provide all staff, irrespective of whether they work in the front-, middle- or back-office, with a sound foundation in the theory and practice of Operational Risk Management. This training is provided in a practical "hands-on" manner that allows them to implement what they have learned easily and effectively the minute they return to the office.

Capital controls have come to Greece

From Business Insider –

“According to a report by Greek newspaper Kathimerini, Greece's government has formally issued a legislative decree instituting capital controls.

Capital controls are restrictions on how money can be moved out of a banking system and are typically put in place to avoid a bank run.

According to Kathimerini, Greek banks will remain closed until at least July 6 and capital controls — which will limit the amount of money that can be withdrawn at an ATM to 60 euros per day — will be in place until then as well.

Reports also indicated that the Athens Stock Exchange would remain closed while banks are closed.”

Why the Risk Based Internal Audit is so important

“For many years Internal Audit considered itself as being solely involved in the controls and processes as they relate to the financial transactions of the firm. Often the internal audit function was considered as part of the review and inspection process in the business. In a way internal auditors often saw themselves and in-house versions of the external variety.

Internal audit did not start out that way. Years ago when I formally studied the subject at university the internal audit ‘bible’ was ‘The Practice of Modern Internal Auditing’ by Lawrence B. Sawer (published by the Institute of Internal Auditors, Inc. originally in 1973). This highly knowledgeable tome of almost 900 pages covered the full ambit of internal auditing in beautiful detail, with dozens of example of checklists and working specimens. These were examples of day-to-day operational risks across all sorts of industries. A small sample ranges from the audit of a highway transport department (covering equipment maintenance, vehicle dispatching, fuel, parts and repair services and general administration) to control and compliance over a range of branches at a major bank. I could go on-and-on, but I guess that you get the picture.”

Risk Based Internal Auditing Training Course

Athens, Greece - 2 & 3 September 2014

The Institute of Internal Auditors defines Risk Based Internal Auditing (RBIA) as a methodology that links internal auditing to an organization’s overall risk management framework. RBIA allows internal audit to provide assurance to the board that risk management processes are managing risks effectively, in relation to the risk appetite.

However every organisation is different. There are different attitudes to risk, different management and organizational structures, different processes and procedures, and the need to subscribe to and comply with different conventions and regulations. Experienced internal auditors need to adapt these ideas to the structures, processes and language of their organisation in order to implement RBIA.

This practical hands-on training course is designed for professionals from industry, financial institutions and risk intensive organizations. The following job titles/ positions will benefit from attending;

• Board members, especially risk and audit committee chairs and members
• Chief Risk Officers
• Heads of market, credit, and operational risk
• Head of Risk Management
• Chief Compliance Officers
• Chief Audit Officers
• Chief Financial Officers
• Actuaries
• Treasurers
• Auditors (External & Internal)
• Bank regulators and examiners
• Risk management consultants
