NEW YORK, July 29, 2024 - Deloitte is helping clients advance their internal audit capabilities by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and Generative AI into its existing suite of internal audit services.
Specifically, internal auditors are leveraging Deloitte's AI-powered suite of services to conduct dynamic risk assessments, streamline controls monitoring, automate Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) scoping, enhance reporting and assurance mapping, and revolutionize the generation of audit reports that can save time, boost stakeholder engagement, and expand assurance coverage.
"Rapidly advancing technologies like AI and Generative AI are empowering organizations to innovate and improve the impact and value that teams across the enterprise can deliver to shareholders, inclusive of internal audit," said Sarah Fedele, a Deloitte Risk & Financial Advisory principal and U.S. internal audit leader, Deloitte & Touche LLP. "The ongoing integration of AI into Deloitte's internal audit services is not only enhancing efficiency for our clients, but it's also transforming the way organizations manage risk, potentially leading to stronger control environments and more resilient businesses."
Geoff Kovesdy, a Deloitte Risk & Financial Advisory principal in internal audit, Deloitte & Touche LLP, added: "AI is not just an add-on for internal audit - it's a game-changing collection of technologies that is transforming the profession. Generative AI in particular, the latest of AI innovations, is fast becoming essential to internal audit processes, enhancing efficiency and empowering internal auditors with deep insights through its ability to simulate and understand complex scenarios and rapidly produce unprecedented volumes of risk analysis. No matter how familiar our clients are with this complex technology, we're able to help them explore use cases specific to their organizations' internal audit teams, which can help them advance on implementation accordingly."
Deloitte continues to help internal audit teams identify and develop their own strategies and AI capabilities through digital transformation across people, process, data and technology that supports the development of optimal, future-state operating models. Deloitte offers the following AI-powered internal audit platforms:
Deloitte is also infusing Generative AI capabilities across its own enterprise to enhance productivity and deliver greater client impact.
