Title: “Root Cause Analysis”
Course Overview
Have you even communicated a recommendation only to discover the implemented recommendation didn’t resolve the problem? Do you feel like you identify symptoms of problems? Does your organization use the Band-Aid approach to correcting communicated audit findings? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this course is for you.
Root cause analysis is a process to identify and resolve the root cause behind problems to prevent recurring failures. As part of the audit process, root cause analysis is an essential element of communicating findings and determining the corrective actions.
While management should perform root cause analysis, they often don’t have the time and will simply implement a recommendation provided by the auditors. This means that auditors must complete a root cause analysis. However, identifying the root cause is hard and often overlooked by auditors. Moreover, the root cause may be politically sensitive when communicated by auditors.
Attendees will explore different techniques for root cause analysis.
Who should attend
- Internal audit staff performing audits, communicating results, and making recommendations
Learning Objectives
At the end of this program, attendees will be able to:
