Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Internal Audit & Assurance

The course helps internal auditors use AI effectively without weakening professional judgement, independence, confidentiality, or evidence quality. Participants learn how AI can support the audit lifecycle while also developing the capability to assess the governance and control environment surrounding organisational AI use.

A technical background in AI development or data science is not required. The course focuses on practical audit applications, professional judgement, governance, risk, controls, prompting, analytics, and assurance rather than the technical construction of AI models.

Generative AI can assist with document analysis, preliminary risk identification, audit scoping, control inventories, information requests, test design, root-cause exploration, and report drafting. The course emphasises that AI outputs remain inputs to auditor judgement and require validation before they can support audit conclusions.

Agentic AI refers to AI systems capable of carrying out multi-step activities with greater autonomy than conventional AI assistants. Internal audit may use these capabilities for activities such as evidence collection, document review, monitoring, and workflow coordination, while retaining clearly defined human authority, validation, and escalation requirements.

Participants examine provenance, completeness, authenticity, independent verification, and the risk of manipulated or synthetic information. They also learn to distinguish AI-generated indicators from sufficient audit evidence and document the professional judgement applied during review.

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Internal Audit & Assurance course addresses AI policies, governance structures, accountability, inventories, model and data controls, privacy, cybersecurity, bias, monitoring, performance, and third-party AI arrangements. This helps auditors evaluate whether organisational AI is being governed and controlled responsibly.

Participants examine automated control monitoring, continuous risk indicators, exception-driven auditing, and the integration of AI with audit analytics. The emphasis is on using technology to provide more timely assurance while preserving auditor oversight and accountability.
