Description:

CISA® stands as the globally recognised and most widely adopted certification for professionals specialising in IS audit and IT risk consulting.

Our CISA course is an intensive, highly competitive, and exam-oriented training programme. Drawing on our experience of delivering over 150 CISA trainings across Europe and worldwide, along with training more than 1,200 delegates, Net Security has developed its in-house CISA materials with the primary objective of ensuring candidates successfully pass the ISACA CISA® Exam. The methodology emphasises a deep understanding of CISA IS auditing concepts alongside extensive practice using question banks released by ISACA over the past three years. Over time, CISA-certified professionals have become increasingly sought after by prominent accounting firms, global banks, advisory practices, assurance teams, and internal audit departments.

While delegates may bring years of IT auditing experience to the table, their ability to tackle CISA questions effectively depends on their grasp of globally accepted IT assurance practices. The CISA exam is notably challenging due to the potential ambiguity between closely worded options; this is precisely where ISACA assesses your understanding of international IT auditing standards. To help candidates overcome these hurdles, we employ top-tier trainers with extensive global experience in delivering CISA training.

The Net Security CISA manual encompasses all relevant exam concepts, case studies, and Q&A sessions across the five CISA domains. Additionally, trainers provide essential supplementary materials such as key CISA notes, question banks, a glossary of terms, instructional videos, revision documents, exam tips, and CISA mind maps throughout the course.

Goal:

The ultimate objective is to achieve a first-time pass on your CISA examination.

Objectives:

• Apply gained knowledge in a practical manner that benefits your organisation.

Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the level of risk assumed by banks to the capital they must hold, while financial institutions are progressively adopting risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and the global market grow in complexity, effective risk management becomes ever more challenging. A critical lesson from the banking crisis of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; to manage them efficiently, banks must comprehend these interactions.

Key course features include:

• an explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a detailed examination of the primary risks encountered by banks
• industry best practices for implementing an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management across the entire organization
• utilization of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture ensuring all personnel actively participate in managing risks in alignment with the bank’s strategic objectives
• an exploration of potential challenges future risk managers may encounter

The course extensively utilizes case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at various banks will be used throughout the course to illustrate where risk management failed and to highlight actions that could have prevented losses.

Objectives

The objective of this course is to assist bank management in delivering a suitable integrated strategy for managing the complex and evolving risks and regulations prevalent in today’s international banking environment. Specifically, this course aims to provide senior-level management with an understanding of:
