Internal Audit Lens - AI application by internal auditors
AI isn’t new but use of it by Internal Audit is. There will only be more use cases for AI going forward but the importance of “the human in the loop” means that AI will only replace internal auditors if they let it. In this episode, ACCA Internal Audit Sector Panel member John Webb talks to Jonathan Roffey - who leads Ernst & Young’s delivery of Technology Risk Services to the Financial Services Sector – about where internal auditors can embrace artificial intelligence to add to its own value. Jonathan will share practical examples of where he has seen AI help internal auditors, and also highlight some limitations of AI.

Internal Audit Lens - Recent developments in cyber risk
As cyber threat actors continually evolve their attacks, an organisation can be considered to be doing well these days if it is only two steps behind bad actors. In the second of a two-part podcast, Lee Glover of Validera and Mike Hughes of Prism RA talk about recent developments in cyber risk including the evolution of the approach of threat actors from attacking individual organisations to attacking software companies that then distribute their bad code across the globe. Risk management is only possible if the controls implemented work as intended, so Internal Audit’s periodic assurance work on controls is vital, as is its involvement in IT projects from the outset.
ACCA’s report on Cyber and the CFO is a useful resource that you can download at https://bit.ly/cyberandthecfo (https://bit.ly/cyberandthecfo). ISACA and Aston University have produced a briefing for the C-Suite on what the Board of Directors need to know to build business resilience. This briefing accompanies ACCA’s report and on page 6 of the document you’ll find eight key questions that company directors need to ask to ensure they are at least doing the fundamentals – you can access the ISACA briefing at https://bit.ly/isacabriefingcsuite (https://bit.ly/isacabriefingcsuite).
