Generative AI (GenAI) is rapidly transforming how organizations execute routine, rules-based processes, delivering efficiency, scalability, and cost savings. However, as GenAI adoption accelerates, organizations face growing challenges related to governance, accountability, risk management, and internal control.
In this webinar, we will explore key insights from The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission’s (COSO’s ) new guidance, Achieving Effective Internal Control Over Generative AI (GenAI), including why traditional control approaches often fall short and how organizations can align governance of GenAI-specific practices with the COSO Internal Control–Integrated Framework (COSO-ICIF).
Participants will gain practical perspectives on managing GenAI risks, defining ownership and accountability, and understanding the evolving role of internal audit in supporting effective GenAI governance.
DATE: May 7, 2026
TIME: 12:00 PM–1:00 PM ET
One (1) NASBA CPE will only be awarded to participants on the live broadcast who are logged in for a minimum of 50 minutes and engage on at least three poll questions per each hour of the event.
