This instructor-led, live training in Taiwan (online or on-site) is designed for intermediate-level professionals who wish to develop a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and resolving problems using RCA methodologies.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp essential RCA concepts and continuous improvement cycles.
• Utilize various RCA tools to pinpoint the root causes of issues.

The primary objective of this program is to shift the audit process from a reactive approach of merely "identifying" issues to a proactive strategy focused on "preventing" them. By mastering Root Cause Analysis, the Internal Audit team will specifically target the elimination of recurring findings. This ensures that once a weakness is identified, the recommendations provide a permanent solution, thereby safeguarding the company's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

Failing to implement structured RCA creates a high-risk environment:

• Financial Erosion: Unresolved root causes in financial processes lead to cumulative leakages that escalate over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls instead of focusing on new strategic risks.
• Diminished Authority: Repeatedly reporting the same issues weakens the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.
