Artificial Intelligence is evolving at a pace few organisations anticipated. Recent developments in frontier AI models, reasoning capabilities, autonomous agents, and emerging AI ecosystems are creating new opportunities for innovation, but also introducing new categories of operational, cyber, compliance, strategic, and governance risk.
For Internal Audit, this creates an important question: how will these developments change the 2027 risk assessment and audit plan?
As organisations accelerate AI adoption, Boards and Executive Management increasingly expect Internal Audit to provide assurance over AI-related risks, governance, controls, and regulatory compliance. At the same time, standards such as ISO/IEC 42001 and the emergence of AI Management Systems (AIMS) are creating more structured expectations around AI governance and accountability.
This webinar is designed to help Internal Audit leaders and practitioners understand the implications of recent AI developments, identify the risks that matter most, and determine how AI should be reflected in their 2027 audit plans and assurance activities.
This webinar will translate recent AI developments into the practical questions Internal Audit functions should be asking now: What has changed? Where are the most significant risks emerging? What should Internal Audit assess? And how should AI be reflected in your audit plan?
