About the Course
Organizations today expect insight-driven assurance, not just compliance confirmation. Internal audit functions are being asked to cover more risks with fewer resources, audit continuously rather than periodically, and provide data-backed insights to audit committees and senior management. To meet these demands, auditors must evolve their practices and embrace advanced technologies.
This course turns AI from an abstract concept into a practical audit toolkit. Participants will not become data scientists. Instead, they will learn how AI fits into the internal audit lifecycle, how to use AI-enabled tools for risk assessment, audit testing, and anomaly detection, and how to interpret AI outputs using professional judgment. Ethical governance and adherence to audit standards will also be covered, ensuring that professionals can modernize assurance without compromising independence, objectivity, or accountability.
