While these tools promise major efficiency=0D=0A  gains, they also change what auditors mean by evidence, coverage, and=0D=0A  professional judgment.=0D=0A=0D=0AThis session examines=0D=0A  how AI is reshaping core audit activities. Through practical case=0D=0A  scenarios, we will explore situations where AI identifies what is=0D=0A  ?high risk,? generates explanations that look like audit=0D=0A  documentation, or filters large data sets in ways that auditors can no=0D=0A  longer fully observe or reproduce. These examples show how efficiency=0D=0A  gains can quietly shift key judgments away from people and into models.=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0AThe discussion will=0D=0A  focus on where auditors must draw clear judgment boundaries when using=0D=0A  AI: when it is appropriate to rely on model-driven analysis, and when=0D=0A  human skepticism, experience, and accountability must take over. We=0D=0A  will also examine the new risks that arise when audit procedures=0D=0A  depend on opaque algorithms, including hidden bias, missed exceptions,=0D=0A  or persuasive but unverifiable outputs.=0D=0A=0D=0AAttendees will leave=0D=0A  with a practical framework for using AI to enhance SOX audits without=0D=0A  weakening audit quality, control reliance, or professional responsibility.=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0A   Speaker Bio: =0D=0A=0D=0AEllie Liu is an IT=0D=0A  audit and technology risk professional specializing in IT SOX and=0D=0A  control assurance.

His expertise spans conducting gap and risk assessments,=0D=0A  developing cyber resilience strategies, and aligning security=0D=0A  requirements with business objectives. Ola brings a practical,=0D=0A  evidence driven approach to evaluating control design and operating=0D=0A  effectiveness, validating evidence quality, and translating technical=0D=0A  findings into actionable assurance outcomes for internal audit, risk,=0D=0A  and security stakeholders. Drawing from cross-framework assessment=0D=0A  experience, he shares practical ways to improve audit efficiency,=0D=0A  reduce ambiguity, and strengthen governance.=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0A   Education =0D=0A=0D=0AMaster?s degree in=0D=0A  Risk Management=0D=0A=0D=0ABSc in Engineering=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0ACPE:4.0 Hrs.=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0A  Refund & Cancellation Policy in effect=0D=0A=0D=0A
