SUMMARY:Closing the AI Governance Gap Before It’s Too Late
DESCRIPTION:About this Event:\n\n\n\nThe governance frameworks that got you here weren’t built for AI. \n\n\n\nTraditional governance was built for systems that do the same thing every time. AI doesn’t work that way. Today’s AI systems—including a growing number of agentic tools now entering finance\, audit\, and compliance workflows—operate at machine scale but with human unpredictability. They don’t process every transaction the same way. They produce probabilistic outputs\, not deterministic ones. And unlike the machines your current controls were built for\, they can be wrong in ways that are difficult to detect and costly to unwind. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, Workiva and KPMG will address what’s changed\, what’s at stake\, and what practitioners can do to ramp up AI governance right now. \n\n\n\nDrawing on KPMG’s Trusted AI framework\, COSO’s emerging GenAI guidance\, and Workiva’s practitioner research\, this session gives audit and risk professionals a clear\, practical path from AI adoption to AI accountability. \n\n\n\nYou’ll leave with a governance framework you can apply immediately—and the language to bring leadership with you. \n\n\n\nAfter this webinar\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the primary risks of ungoverned AI use—including shadow AI\, data leakage\, and hallucination liability\n\n\n\nExplain why AI governance is a business-wide imperative\, not solely a technology or compliance function\n\n\n\nDistinguish between the appropriate roles of AI and human judgment in a risk context\, including defining escalation triggers and maintaining the “human in the loop”\n\n\n\nEvaluate your organization’s AI governance maturity\, and identify priority actions to advance from current state toward assurance-ready governance\n\n\n\n\nWorkiva offers one complimentary CPE credit for this webinar.
