Internal audit’s role in AI transformation
Discover the potential that AI can shape the future of internal audit
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has emerged as a catalyst for technological advancement in internal audit. While many teams have access to GenAI tools, visionary CAEs have outgrown off-the-shelf solutions. They recognize the revolutionary nature of this technology and seek transformational outcomes that go beyond incremental productivity enhancements.
Discover how Gen AI can help IA functions:
- Set clear objectives for GenAI implementation
- Harness the power of prompt engineering
- Build and deploy prompt libraries for efficiency and consistency
- Streamline user experience with applets
- Leverage embeddings for enterprise-specific information
- Utilize knowledge assistants and the power of RAG solutions

Now is the time to discover how SOX professionals can harness the power of agents to take their SOX programs to the next level.
Some of the key applications of agentic AI in SOX compliance include:
- Evidence collection
- Walkthrough performance and documentation
- Integrated third-party risk and SOC report review
- SOX calendar and planning
- Controls testing
