Agentic AI in internal audit: Potential, progress, and prognosis
July 15 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Description:
The audit profession is at an inflection point. Recent IIA data shows budgets are tightening across the profession, yet expectations from leadership, regulators, and the board have never been higher. Agentic AI is emerging as the force that resolves this tension — automating the high-volume, repetitive work that has consumed auditors for decades and unlocking capacity for the strategic, judgment-intensive work the profession was always meant to do.
Join Richard Chambers as he moderates a candid conversation among three of the sharpest minds at the intersection of audit and agentic AI. This session goes beyond the hype, exploring what agentic AI actually changes on the ground, where human judgment and professional skepticism remain irreplaceable, and how forward-thinking audit leaders are repositioning their functions as strategic assets to the business. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of where the profession is headed and practical perspectives on how to lead their teams through this transformation.
Learning objectives:
- Discuss the current state of agentic AI in the audit profession and where the technology is headed.
- Identify where human judgment and professional skepticism will remain essential as agentic AI takes on more execution work.
- Evaluate how the role of the internal auditor is expected to evolve in the agentic AI era.
- Assess the strategic opportunities agentic AI creates for internal audit to deliver greater value to the business.
