Risk Based Internal Auditing (RBIA)

The programme is designed for board members — including risk and audit committee chairs and members — chief risk, compliance, audit and financial officers, heads of market, credit and operational risk, and internal and external auditors. Regulators, examiners, actuaries, treasurers and risk management consultants also attend, since the methodology speaks to everyone who gives or receives assurance on risk management.

RBIA assesses the adequacy of the assurance framework and the reliability of its assurance sources, so that internal audit can tell the board, with evidence, that risk management is working within the organisation’s risk appetite. The cohort works through directing audit effort where the risk is — rather than where the checklist points — and providing assurance the board can genuinely rely on.

Yes — that adaptation is the heart of the programme. No two organisations share the same attitude to risk, management structure, processes or regulatory obligations, so participants work through implementing RBIA in their own context, using their organisation’s structures, processes and language rather than importing a template. Like every BIZENIUS programme, it is also available in-house, tailored to your institution.

Sessions run on a rolling calendar, with dates confirmed on request, and the programme is delivered in both English and French. Fees and quotations are shared on enquiry. In-house delivery, tailored to your institution’s structures and priorities, is a natural fit for a methodology built around adapting RBIA to your own organisation.
