You're invited to this special industry event for auditors across Victoria, focused on the importance of strong data management and governance frameworks as a foundation for the effective use of AI in risk management.

Drawing on insights from resources published by the IIA-Australia, such as the IIA-Whitepaper Auditing Data Risk-Management, this session will explore the following key components and will be facilitated by Ben Ingham from RSM Australia:  

  • Why data governance matters more than ever for internal audit.
  • Key elements of effective data management frameworks.
  • Practical examples and risk considerations shaping best audit practices. 

We invite you to join the discussion and connect with your peers across the industry in Victoria.

IIA Series on Data and AI

This event is the first in a two‑part series designed to build a strong foundation for evolving approaches to risk management in an AI‑enabled environment. While this session focusses on the critical importance of robust data management and governance frameworks, the next session – scheduled soon – will explore how these foundations translate into practical applications of AI in risk management. The second session will bring together industry speakers for a range of perspectives on this rapidly developing topic to help bring the conversation to life.
