Format: Online
For the past few years, we have heard constantly how AI will transform not just the internal audit profession, but entire industries. Now the hot topic is agentic AI, which holds the promise of further enhanced capabilities but also increased risk. What are we to make of this new landscape and how do we prepare for what is coming so that we can advise our organizations on the associated risks and opportunities?
This webinar will look at what agentic AI is and what to expect in the near-term from a “boots on the ground” standpoint. Actual and potential use cases will be covered along with how they may affect an organization’s risk profile. Even if agentic AI isn’t on your 2026 internal audit plan, it is not too early to begin thinking about the impact it will have in the future.
DATE: Jun 10, 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.

- Review examples of potential agentic AI use cases in different types of organizations
- Discuss how Internal Audit can be preparing today for the developing agentic AI landscape
