This live, instructor-led training on New Zealand focuses on ISO 26262 functional safety for automotive systems. Participants will acquire the skills to implement safety processes, interpret ASIL levels, and oversee hardware and software compliance to drive real-world projects effectively.

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.

By the end of the session, participants will be capable of:

• Understanding RCA methodologies and their relevance to internal auditing.
• Identifying and dissecting the root causes of audit findings.
• Applying RCA tools like the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Creating corrective and preventive action plans grounded in RCA results.
• 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.
