Clear filters ×Distinguish a payment message from clearing and settlement, compare gross and net concepts and use a simple two-bank example to understand why settlement design affects funding needs.
Identify failures involving people, processes, systems or external events, then select controls that address the cause rather than merely restating the loss a branch wishes to avoid.
Understand how internal audit evaluates controls, prioritises higher-risk activities and uses evidence, separating an independent assessment from the daily operational responsibility for running a bank process.
Explain why preparing and authorising a transaction should involve distinct responsibilities, and test whether a second approval is independent, informed and supported by sensible access permissions.
Compare cash inflows and outflows by time bucket, identify a simple funding gap and distinguish the ability to pay today from the long-term value of a bank’s assets.
Assess borrower repayment evidence and early warning signals without confusing temporary cash pressure, formal classification and final credit loss or relying on unverified regulatory day-count rules.
