Investment banks present challenges to auditors - there is the language to understand and the complexity of the products to deal with. This course is designed to provide auditors with the key skills necessary to perform audits of investment banks, with a focus on Originations, Trading and Sales, Risk Management and Compliance. The course content includes essential product knowledge, product accounting, case studies to design audit programmes, and opportunities to practice writing-up and ranking audit findings obtained during a mock audit. Lessons will be drawn from past control failures and cases of investment banking fraud. The course teaches auditors with little or no previous experience of investment banks to undertake audits of these institutions with confidence. |
