The Robots Are Coming!!! The Robots are Coming!!! How to Avoid Audit Extinction

Whether you know it or not, whether you like it or not, automation, artificial intelligence and robotics are changing the employment landscape across the country and around the world.  We are already seeing many examples of companies accelerating purchases of new robotics that are cheaper, more flexible and safer than ever before. Is it not that far off that our analytical, compliance and writing skills could be replaced.

Modern internal auditing, to be successful, must be grounded on management support and acceptance and on imaginative service to management. This session will explore ways Auditors can mount a continuing campaign to sell their products to executive management and the products will be of the quality that will capture and keep management’s interest.  Audit work will move away from collecting data and pure compliance and towards more creative activities that are complementary to automation.

So will you lose your job to a robot?
