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

Explore how you can build collaborative, agile GRC teams to tackle overlapping risks like TPRM, AI, and cybersecurity.

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

Description

The roles of audit, risk, compliance, and information security teams are rapidly evolving as organizations face a more complex and interconnected risk environment. No longer confined to siloed responsibilities, these teams must now collaborate strategically and expand their expertise to address top priorities like third-party risk management (TPRM), AI, and cybersecurity, while also navigating regulatory compliance in an increasingly demanding landscape.
This session will explore best practices for fostering effective collaboration across these critical functions to mitigate emerging risks, as well as take advantage of opportunities. We’ll discuss how leaders in these areas can adapt to new board directives, regulatory expectations, and evolving threats, and develop, retain, and recruit the right talent to build an agile GRC team. By aligning their efforts, these teams can take a more proactive, strategic approach to risk management that not only mitigates potential issues but also strengthens organizational resilience and drives better business outcomes.
