Bank execs urged to apply for new certification for auditors

KUALA LUMPUR: Bank executives, who hold either a degree, diploma or certificate with three years of audit experience, are urged to apply for the Certification for Bank Auditors (CBA) to further strengthen their competence in internal bank auditing.

Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers (AlCB) chairman Tan Sri Azman Hashim said the CBA was designed to align itself with the relevant body of knowledge and deployed an integrated and adaptable framework for internal audit with an emphasis on information technology (IT) audit as cyber attacks were one of the bank’s top risks now.
