AuditBoard’s mission is to be the category-defining global platform for connected risk, elevating our customers through innovation. More than 50% of the Fortune 500 trust AuditBoard to transform their audit, risk, and compliance management. AuditBoard is top-rated by customers on G2, Capterra, and Gartner Peer Insights, and was recently ranked for the sixth year in a row as one of the fastest-growing technology companies in North America by Deloitte.

Generative AI and ML promise to change the way all business functions operate, including GRC. While the potential for productivity gains is clear, the risks associated with their use and ways to address them are still being understood. As technology advances, risk management grows in importance, and requirements continue to increase in number and visibility. In order to encourage the secure use of AI, we need to develop new ways of governing AI risk. 

This session will explore the evolution of traditional governance processes like policies, training and awareness, third-party risk, data governance, access control, and monitoring. We’ll also explore several novel and emerging techniques for mitigating AI risks, such as enforcing security-centric prompts and model guidance, and the opportunity for prompt libraries and enterprise controls that lead to secure AI use within the enterprise. 

Let’s explore the future of this trend and the guardrails to help your organization navigate this next major evolution of technology. 

Learning objectives for this session:
 - Assess the risks that come with generative AI and AIML-based technologies.
 - Explore how to extend your existing governance processes to cover AI risks.
 - Discuss emerging practices for effectively integrating security into AI-enabled use cases.

How good governance enables AI innovation

Organizational culture shapes how risks, decisions, and behaviors are managed, yet it is often viewed as an ideal rather than a tangible asset. In this webinar, Richard Chambers, AuditBoard’s Senior Advisor, Risk and Audit will share the findings of AuditBoard’s “2025 Organizational Culture and Ethics Report.” The research disclosed that organizations must deploy a shared culture risk model that aligns the efforts of management, internal auditors, and the risk management and compliance teams for success. Finally, Richard will explore six six core recommendations to help organizations operationalize culture risk within the GRC ecosystem.

Learning objectives for this session:
 - Discuss the roles of audit, risk, and compliance in organizational culture.
 - Identify key culture-related risks and common barriers to effective assessment and management of these risks.
 - Incorporate culture KRIs and guiding principles into their processes to assess and monitor culture at their organizations.

From burning platform to strategic priority: Tackling culture risk in the GRC ecosystem

AI isn’t limited to just large internal audit teams. Even a team of one can do a lot of value-added work with it. In this series, we’ll break down how large and small internal audit teams are using tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and purpose-built audit models in their workflows. We’ll also provide a “state of the union” on GenAI in internal audit, talk through the reality vs. the hype, and provide an easy-to-understand, non-technical description of how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT work.

In this session, you will learn how to:
 - Explain in plain language how large language models (LLMs) work.
 - Identify at least three high-impact AI use cases.
 - Assess common concerns about AI and AGI (ethics, data privacy, and job displacement).

How internal audit uses AI: From the Fortune 100 to the five-person audit team

In the era of AI, are the “8 Ways to Practice the Human Touch of Audit” still valid? Dive into what’s necessary for internal auditors to apply their soft skills today and obtain true trusted advisor status, including psychological safety: the ability to speak up and take risks without fear. We’ll also explore how Domain III of the new Global Internal Audit Standards emphasizes partnership and communication between the CAE, the board, and senior management — requiring essential soft skills to enable the internal audit function to perform its duties effectively.     

Learning objectives for this session:
 - Discuss the soft skills needed today for a successful internal audit function.
 - Describe what psychological safety is — and isn’t.
 - Apply soft skills to fulfill key elements of the updated Standards.

The human touch of audit: Cultivating soft skills

Despite billions invested, 95% of organizations see limited returns from generative AI. Our new research shows why: without elite risk management, firms cannot deploy this technology confidently or take the strategic risks that unlock true business value.

Join us for the unveiling of the second edition of our flagship report, Generative AI in Risk & Compliance 2025. Drawing on a global survey of senior risk and compliance leaders, analysis of 600+ use cases, and expert contributions from leading RiskTech vendors, this session delivers clarity on how GenAI is reshaping enterprise risk profiles and where it can genuinely deliver value.

Key questions we’ll address include:
- Which GenAI risks are now dominating the enterprise agenda?
- In what ways is GenAI being leveraged to strengthen compliance programs?
- What areas of risk and compliance are most affected by generative AI?
- Which vendors are emerging with differentiated expertise and tools worth watching?

Walk away with a clear view of the ROI paradox, and how risk and compliance leaders, together with the right technology partners, are closing the gap.

Internal audit at a crossroads: Adapting to cyber threats and new standards

AI is not on the horizon. It is here. It has been here. Generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLM) entered the cybersecurity zeitgeist nearly three years ago when ChatGPT became available to the public. Business leaders are clearly interested in using GenAI. They are scrambling to incorporate it in any way that makes sense—and many ways that might not make sense.

This webcast is built on insights from one of our most anticipated cybersecurity surveys of the year—offering an in-depth look at how the community is adopting, adapting to, and defending against artificial intelligence in all its forms.

Connected risk: The AI-driven convergence of audit, risk, and compliance

In today’s digital landscape, organizations face increasing pressure to manage who has access to what information, when, and why. With the rise of AI, this task has become even more complex, as AI systems generate and process data in ways that are harder to track, making it difficult to control where sensitive information is going and who has access to it. Strong identity and access management (IAM) ensures that only the right individuals have access to the right resources at the right time, minimizing the risk of security breaches, data leaks, and unauthorized access. 

But IAM’s role doesn’t stop at securing access. When integrated with GRC frameworks, IAM helps organizations build resilience by enabling proactive risk management and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

This session will explore how IAM strengthens resilience by providing secure access to organizational systems while reducing risk and ensuring compliance. We’ll discuss how IAM systems help manage access in dynamic environments, adapt to evolving threats, and ensure that access to sensitive data is always controlled. 

Learning objectives for this session:
 - Describe the role of IAM in securing access to sensitive information in today’s dynamic digital and AI-driven environments.
 - Explore how IAM integrates with GRC frameworks to support proactive risk management.
 - Apply best practices for managing access rights to reduce the risk of data breaches, leaks, and unauthorized access.
 - Discuss how IAM systems enhance organizational resilience by adapting to evolving threats and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
