Combined Assurance and the Three Lines Model
This course helps organisations coordinate their many assurance providers into a coherent map that reassures the board without gaps or wasteful overlap. Delegates study the updated three lines model, assurance mapping, and how management, risk, compliance, and internal audit should divide the work. The programme results in a clearer, cheaper, and more reliable assurance picture.
