The Competency Based Approach to the Practice of Revenue Assurance
Understanding what competency is , how to measure it and how to get more of it is the key to professional development
What people learn in this class, and all GRAPA training , is that success in the practice of RA depends more than anything else on the competency that the professional develops and exercises throughout their career. Professional ethics, being in alignment with managements directives and appetite for risk, being sensitive to the governance approach being taken by the firm and the application of standard procedures, best practices and a commitment to the principles of governance are taught and explained in this class. (A real key to understanding what GOOD revenue assurance is and how to practice that way.) .
