The corporate spotlight has turned onto Chief Internal Auditors, and the audit function’s influence now rests on relationships as much as findings — the CIA’s standing with key stakeholders carries the reputation of the whole function. This programme addresses both halves of the job. It gives practical guidance for enhancing the Chief Internal Auditor’s position and profile, and the reputation and performance of the team. And it builds the technical range modern bank audit demands: derivatives, hedging, payment systems, and how to audit credit and market risk, the dealing room, clearing services, trade finance, private banking, and retail and corporate banking operations.

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.
