Smarter audit reports in the age of AI

AI can unintentionally weaken report quality. Learn how to apply practical guardrails that keep human judgment at the center of your insights.

Smarter audit reports in the age of AI

Description

AI is making its way into audit reporting, often through approved tools, limited access, and unclear guidance. Some audit teams go full throttle with AI, some have started experimenting with AI, and others are just beginning to explore what it could mean for their reporting.
In all cases, the question is the same: How do you use AI in a way that actually improves audit report quality without creating new risks or losing professional judgment? In this session, we dive into how AI interacts with judgment, structure, and accountability in audit reports. We’ll address what needs to be in place before AI can add real value and where reliance on AI can undermine clarity, insight, and trust.
This session is designed for audit teams who are using AI today or preparing to introduce it, and want a clear, defensible approach to using AI responsibly while raising the quality of their audit reports.
