The greatest threat to a bank is risk that is never properly identified, measured or managed — the unexpected losses that follow can threaten institutions of any size, as the financial crisis proved. Basel III answers with more risk-sensitive capital requirements, broader risk coverage, stronger loss absorbency and buffers built during good times to absorb losses in periods of stress. This internal audit course applies the risk-based audit approach to these business areas, and participants develop audit programmes during the training that their firms can use in practice.

Frequently asked
Will these programmes prepare our team for supervisory review?
That is what they are built for. Casework is structured around the evidence supervisors request — risk-appetite articulation, documentation, attestation — and participants leave able to assemble the evidence trail before it is asked for and defend the framework in examination. Faculty include practitioners who have sat on the supervisor’s side of the table.
Which risk frameworks does the curriculum cover?
The risk and compliance curriculum spans enterprise risk management on the COSO framework, credit, market, liquidity and operational risk, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing, and financial-crime disciplines including fraud detection and AML/CFT. Each programme page states the frames it works in and what participants will build with them.
Can we attend in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers in English and French, in classroom, live virtual and hybrid formats. French-language cohorts serve institutions across BCEAO jurisdictions and other francophone markets.
What happens after we enquire about a programme?
A senior practitioner replies within one business day with the brochure attached. The conversation then covers dates, format, any tailoring your institution needs, and the fee — BIZENIUS shares fees in that proposal, not on a public price list.

Capital frameworks built to run the bank, not to satisfy a filing
Most frameworks are written to satisfy the regulator. We build the kind that run the bank.
