As AI agents take on more of the work, internal audit’s bottleneck is moving from execution to judgment. What does that mean for CAEs, their teams and the way assurance gets delivered? Join our CPE eligible webcast on October 14 from 12-1:30 ET.

A year ago, AI seemed poised to transform many aspects of the business. Today, as AI adoption continues to evolve, one thing is increasingly clear: AI’s potential depends on access to enterprise tooling, coding agents and engineering, capabilities of your team and adoption of what is being created — while managing the risks it creates is becoming just as important as capturing its value.

Join us for our upcoming webcast, AI’s potential, AI’s risk: What CAEs should know, part of our semi-annual internal audit insights series, as we explore two sides of the agentic AI conversation for internal audit leaders.

Building on PwC’s vision for a human-led, agent-powered internal audit function, we’ll share our latest perspective from the field: how the bottleneck has moved from execution to judgment now that agents can contribute to assess risk and test continuously rather than periodically, what that can mean for managing agents as part of the workforce, and why the value of risk knowledge, sector experience, and human judgment goes up as agent enabled activities expand.

We will then turn to internal controls for agentic AI and what growing AI autonomy can mean for the control environment, including how human-in-the-loop review, monitoring and observability, and governance help organizations scale agentic AI with confidence.

Learning objectives:

  • Explore how AI agents are reshaping internal audit and the role of the risk professional

  • Consider how CAEs can rethink assurance and learn how to manage agents as part of the audit workforce

  • Understand how controls and oversight should evolve as AI agents become more autonomous 

  • Identify practical actions to capture AI’s potential while managing its risks

Who should attend: Chief Audit Executives, Chief Risk Officers, Chief Compliance Officers.
