Capturing AI's Value: Governance, Internal Controls, and Accountability for Boards and Audit Committees

This members-only Leadership Exchange Forum is hosted by Grant Thornton.

Boards and audit committees are increasingly focused on how organizations can capture the value of artificial intelligence while maintaining appropriate governance, internal controls, accountability, auditability, and alignment with enterprise risk appetite.

This interactive Leadership Exchange Forum will explore the intersection of AI, accounting, financial reporting, legal considerations, and internal controls, creating a thoughtful, practical discussion for members.

Following brief opening perspectives from the panelists, the program will transition to facilitated questions and substantial audience discussion focused on AI governance and risk from the board and audit committee perspective.

By the conclusion of the program, participants will be able to:

• ·       Explain how boards and audit committees can consider the value of AI while maintaining appropriate governance, internal controls, accountability, and auditability.
• ·       Identify key considerations at the intersection of AI, accounting, financial reporting, legal matters, and internal controls.
• ·       Examine how AI governance and oversight can be aligned with an organization’s enterprise risk appetite.
• ·       Discuss practical board and audit committee perspectives on AI-related governance, risk, and internal controls.
