Tom McLeodAfter a recent LinkedIn post on the impact of AI on Internal Audit I received a message to say that I was a techno optimist and that I was completely wrong about AI’s imminent impact on the profession we hold dear.I was told in no uncertain terms that there was no way that Internal Audit would change in our lifetimes (which I took as many decades and not a threat to my longevity!)Sorry to burst the bubble here, but, we have an AI solution today that does just that. Not only can we show that we can automate the cyber audit process using AI, we can improve audit quality; we’ve removed the need to sample inspect; we can run over 1,000 agentic AI tasks against the audit knowledge, and experience that we consume to baseline our evaluation and we can complete control effectiveness evaluations in less than 30 minutes.We do not replace audit the human in the loop, we provide auditors with the tools to complete more work, maintaining quality and manage risk. With over 150,000 companies across the EU that have to demonstrate compliance to EU NIS 2, that’s a good thing for cybersecurity and national security.
