<h4>Audit Committee Effectiveness: A Webinar Series | Episode 7</h4>
<em>Welcome to Audit Committee Effectiveness: a webinar series brought to you by the Center for Audit Quality and the National Association of Corporate Directors. The series explores key takeaways and insights from leaders in the financial reporting ecosystem alongside resources developed to aid audit committees and public company board members. Stay tuned to this page for information about topics, participants, and how to register for upcoming webinars.</em>

<img class=" wp-image-12997 alignnone" src="https://thecaq.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/CAQ_NACD_400x150.png" alt="CAQ NACD" width="200" height="75" />

In our initial AI 101 for Audit Committees <a href="https://www.thecaq.org/artificial-intelligence-ai-101-for-audit-committees">webinar</a>, we tackled how recent advancements, powered by the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, has captured the attention of corporate leaders around the world.  Corporate boards are focusing on better understanding the technology and establishing guardrails to ensure risks of information security, data quality, hallucinations, and other areas are appropriately managed.

Now, in the second of a 2-part series, speakers <a href="https://www.ey.com/en_us/people/richard-jackson">Richard Jackson</a> (Global Artificial Intelligence Assurance Leader, EY) and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/hrncirik/">Cory Hrncirik</a> (Modern Finance Lead, Microsoft) join us again with <a href="https://www.nacdonline.org/philadelphia/philadelphia-leadership/tom-petro/">Tom Petro</a> (Managing Partner, Capital Partners &amp; Audit Committee Member) to discuss how things have evolved in just the past 8 months.

We’ll discuss the evolving role of the audit committee, including oversight of both management and the external auditor. We’ll dive into such questions as:
<ul>
 	<li>Does the company have the requisite expertise to select, develop, deploy, and monitor genAI technologies?</li>
 	<li>Who (individual or group) in the company is responsible for oversight of the use of genAI?</li>
 	<li>Does the company have a process to track and monitor the use of genAI throughout the company, including use by third-party service providers?</li>
 	<li>What is the auditor’s understanding of the financial reporting implications of the company’s use of genAI technologies?</li>
 	<li>Does the company’s use of genAI technologies have a significant impact on the planned audit scope?</li>
 	<li>Has the auditor identified any fraud risks related to the company’s use of genAI technologies? How has the auditor addressed such risks in the audit?</li>
</ul>

The increasingly rapid adoption of artificial intelligence-enabled technology has sparked a dialogue about how to encourage innovation while addressing the associated risks. AI has been around for decades but the advancement in the past 18-months, powered by the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, is capturing the attention of corporate leaders around the world.  AI is increasingly finding its way into product design and even non-tech companies are already monetizing new products with embedded AI.

Companies are excited about the prospects AI can offer; at the same time, there are concerns about the elevated risk profile it introduces. Corporate boards are focusing on better understanding the technology and establishing guardrails to ensure risks of information security, data quality, hallucinations, and other areas are appropriately managed. Join the CAQ and NACD for a webinar to learn about what AI is and isn’t, examples of how businesses are using the technologies that encompass it in financial reporting, and what questions boards should ask of corporate management.
