This workshop will provide a hands-on experience of using Generative AI to assist in completing a simulated internal audit engagement. This will include using AI to complete the tasks required for an end-to-end engagement, from planning through to fieldwork and reporting.

This training covers non-industry specific, generic internal audit topics which will be relatable to many internal audit functions. The course will include performing an audit for a fictional electronic retailer as a case study.

Participants will work together to complete each stage of the audit, using AI as a technological resource to produce key documents, complete testing and identify findings. 

This is a practical course, with tops and tricks to provide by the AI Working Group to improve the participants confidence in using AI during their internal audits.
