Course objective

To evolve operational personnel into strategic risk analysts who can navigate the interplay between the National Credit Act (NCA), Vodacom's commercial goals, and the distinct socio-economic context of South Africa. This program shifts the focus from binary "pass/fail" assessments to sophisticated, risk-informed decision-making.

Learning outcomes

• Analysis: Assess credit applications by applying the 5 C’s of Credit within the telecommunications sector.
• Synthesis: Combine bureau data, internal payment records, and KYC documentation to construct a comprehensive risk profile.
• Execution: Conduct stress-test simulations on SME and Consumer accounts utilizing Excel-based scoring models.
• Compliance: Guarantee that all decisions adhere to the NCA and POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act).

The primary objective of this program is to evolve the audit process from a reactive "finding" model to a proactive "prevention" strategy. Through the mastery of Root Cause Analysis, the Internal Audit team will focus on eradicating recurring issues. This guarantees that once a vulnerability is detected, the recommended actions provide a permanent remedy, thus securing the company’s operational effectiveness and financial integrity.

Not implementing structured RCA exposes the organization to significant risks:

• Financial Erosion: Neglected root causes in financial operations lead to accumulating losses that worsen over time.
• Resource Waste: Auditors invest 40% more time re-auditing the same deficient controls instead of monitoring emerging strategic risks.
• Diminished Influence: Repeated reporting of identical issues reduces the Audit Division’s authority with senior leadership and auditees.
