Internal audit - ICAAP/ILAAP

This module is a component of our Internal audit curriculum, designed to assist internal auditors in their day-to-day work.

This curriculum consists in several courses, dedicated to core topics, subject to the review of internal auditors. The courses will cover organisational, technical and regulatory aspects.
