AI is no longer a “future” conversation for Internal Audit, it’s already reshaping how audits get done. The real question isn’t if you should use AI, but how to use it responsibly and effectively in your day-to-day work. Join Kartik Goyal and Tathagat Verma, Co-Founders of Rover, for a practical, auditor-focused session on how AI can meaningfully support Internal Audit, without deep technical expertise or major system overhauls.
