Last year, AI broke into the mainstream and business use cases with the advent of generative AI and large language algorithms (LLMs). IDC predicts that AI spending will continue to accelerate to over $301 billion globally by 2026. 

Despite all the buzz, a recent Gartner survey reveals that over half of organizations don’t have an internal policy on generative AI — opening them up to potential ethical, legal, and privacy risks.

This session will discuss the challenges organizations face as a result of AI’s rapid adoption and offer guidance on how to develop policies for responsible use and minimize risks.

From this session, you'll be able to:
 - Describe how enterprises are currently leveraging AI in business contexts.
 - Discuss risks and challenges associated with AI adoption.
 - Develop a comprehensive AI usage policy that enables innovation while mitigating risks.

Front Line Perspectives on Adhering to The IIA's New Global IA Standards

None of us are as ethical as we think we are. 
 
All evidence points to the fact our society is not getting any better ethically. The number and variety of recent scandals proves our culture has changed in the last half-century to one with a greater emphasis on self, ignoring or rationalizing any unethical behavior involved in our decision-making or actions. You might say you are ethical and perhaps that everyone at your organization is as well. It’s time to see if you and the leaders at your organization are truly walking the talk.

From this webinar, you'll be able to: 
 - Identify The Big Me character choice in real-life fraud, ethics, and audit cases.
 - Recognize blind spots that exist and why they lead to being The Ethical Rationalizer.
 - Select personal values and create an ethical mantra to become The Everyday Ethical Auditor.

Return to work, the great resignation, quiet quitting, agile resourcing, upskilling — there is no shortage of talent themes and buzzwords keeping people leaders and HR business partners on their toes. These challenges impact how companies operate, how audit engagements are executed, and how audit plans are completed.

While these teams may not be immune to the next "big thing", genuine trust, coaching, inclusion, and care will differentiate high-impact audit, risk, and compliance functions. In this session, audit leaders will share the strategies that have worked well for them in this area (and what hasn’t worked as well).

From this session, learn to:

Enterprise Risk Management Program Accelerators

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is an ever-important topic for companies today as teams continue to struggle with attracting and retaining top talent. In fact, fostering an inclusive and diverse work environment often has other positive business outcomes, like higher productivity, profitability, and cost reduction. Yet there’s often a misconception that only individuals with certain characteristics can successfully contribute to specific roles in an organization and be effective leaders, particularly with regard to neurodivergent individuals (e.g., those with autism, ADHD, learning disabilities).  We see this misconception shattered when we learn the origin stories of successful leaders like Bill Gates (ADHD), Barbara Corcoran (dyslexia), Bill “Bond King” Gross (Asperger’s), and Elon Musk (autism spectrum). 

So how do you help drive DEI initiatives to ensure that neurodivergent individuals are included in the workplace and are given opportunities that are impactful for both the individual and companies alike? How do you successfully collaborate with these individuals and how do you help them progress their careers from individual contributors to leaders? Join Nancy Yuen, Senior Director of Global SOX and Audit Compliance, as she answers these questions through an inspiring session on the importance of DEI, its impact on the neurodivergent community, and the power of emotional intelligence in today’s modern workplace.

Navigating DEI: Embracing Neurodiversity as a Competitive Advantage

Over the past two years, many organizations have faced challenges with their SOX programs. Increased time spent on control documentation, a higher number of deficiencies, and more time spent satisfying external auditors have reduced the time that internal audit and control teams can devote to initiatives that add more value.

Join Tom O'Reilly, Field Chief Audit Executive and Connected Risk Advisor at AuditBoard, where he will share practices and strategies of modern SOX programs. He will discuss six core tenets — educate, eliminate, delegate, automate, advocate, and increase reliance — to decrease time and resources devoted to SOX, with the ultimate goal of taking on more strategic audit, risk, and compliance work.

Many internal audit teams are unfamiliar with leveraging analytics for automation, unsure of where to begin. In this webinar, we'll delve into the challenges facing audit teams and why embracing advanced analytics is crucial for relevance.

We'll also provide insights into two use cases for integrating analytics automation into SOX and internal audit workflows. Following this webinar, participants will be able apply new methods to challenge and transform established norms, ultimately enhancing the value delivered to the business.

Rising to the Audit Analytics Challenge: How to Prioritize Efficiency & Accuracy

It is no secret that expanding organizational risk profiles, tighter regulations, and rising stakeholder expectations create a demanding assurance landscape for internal audit organizations in the financial services (FinServ) sector. What is frequently overlooked is how traditional audit processes and methodologies limit real-time visibility into risk, hinder agility needed to address changing risk, and mask business-impacting insights. 

These insights are crucial to advise and partner with the broader organization, and their absence increases the risk of regulatory noncompliance. 

Join us for this webinar to see how integrating aspects of agile auditing provides the flexibility needed to respond and react to the rapid shifts in risk exposure that financial services organizations face.
