The Avaloq Banking System is a product covering all relevant aspects of banking. It delivers tools for individually implementing actual and future market services like retail, commercial, private and universal banks. Avaloq uses standards, state-of-the-art technologies and provides open interfaces to support interconnected banking. Avaloq can be parameterized to such a high degree that each Avaloq installation has to be seen as individually tailored software.

The complexity of Avaloq is high, making an effective audit difficult to perform. With our compact course, we‘re offering to IT auditors and IT security responsibles the possibility to get an overview over essential functions and know-how about the parameterization in specific topics such as security or work flows.

Presentations and practical exercises will be complemented with field reports of IT auditors.
