AI and the future of internal audit​

In a world where trust is everything, AI is helping empower internal audit functions to raise the bar. At PwC, we've kicked-off a new quick-hit video series on how AI is reshaping internal audit and compliance. From GenAI-enabled audit planning to instant process and controls documentation, faster code reviews, and more, we’re showcasing real ways AI is helping deliver smarter audits, faster insights, and real impact in hours, not days or weeks. Explore some of the ways we’re using AI:

Audit planning

Our custom GPT helps drive consistency and reduces audit planning time up to 30%. It provides potential risk areas, an audit scope, a risk and control matrix, testing templates and a request list in minutes so your team can skip the setup and start delivering audit value faster.

Our internal audit in 3D framework

An effective internal audit function is the one that is right for the organization; we understand each organization is different. Our new internal audit maturity assessment and transformation framework considers these multiple dimensions so that you can design a blueprint for success and build a sustainable function that is ‘fit-for-purpose’ and ready to meet current and future challenges.

It is important to understand what level of maturity of an internal audit function is possible, however we understand that the top level of maturity may not be the desired goal.

PwC can help by performing an assessment of your internal audit function against our internal audit in 3D framework and provide opportunities to align with leading practices based on your desired maturity level.
