This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (delivered online or onsite) targets intermediate-level professionals seeking to establish a structured approach to identifying, analysing, and resolving issues using RCA methodologies.

By the conclusion of this programme, participants will be able to:

• Comprehend the essential concepts of RCA and continuous improvement cycles.

• Create and execute effective problem-solving strategies.
• Integrate RCA into organisational improvement and prevention strategies.

The primary objective of this programme is to shift the audit process away from merely reacting to issues, towards implementing a proactive prevention strategy. By developing a deep understanding of Root Cause Analysis, Internal Audit teams can focus on eliminating recurring findings. This approach ensures that when a weakness is detected, the resulting recommendations offer a lasting solution, thereby protecting the company's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

Failing to adopt a structured RCA methodology creates a high-risk environment, leading to:

• Financial Erosion: Unaddressed root causes in financial processes result in cumulative losses that increase over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors end up spending 40% more time re-examining the same failed controls, diverting attention from emerging strategic risks.
• Diminished Authority: Continuously reporting the same issues undermines the Audit Division's credibility and influence with senior management and auditees.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (available online or onsite) is tailored for intermediate-level internal auditors looking to boost their audit impact through the application of structured RCA techniques.

• Applying RCA tools like the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).

• Incorporating RCA into the internal audit process to enhance risk management.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level safety professionals and operational managers who wish to enhance their ability to investigate incidents, identify systemic weaknesses, and design effective corrective and preventive actions.
