What should Internal Audit do when AI adoption moves ahead of accountability?

Explore this question at the 2026 CAE Conference with Alok Bishnoi and Senthil Kumar, Partners at AJMS Global Consulting, in their session:

“Auditing the AI Governance Framework That Doesn't Exist Yet”

The discussion will examine how audit teams can assess AI use, identify missing governance controls and evaluate whether management is ready to oversee the risks.

It will also explore a practical path from fragmented AI adoption to clearer accountability and sustainable assurance—using advisory work, maturity assessments and phased reviews.

A central question runs throughout: how can Internal Audit help build stronger governance while preserving its independence?

From Excel trackers to AI-native platforms: how big a leap is your audit team ready to take?

That transition is on the agenda at the 2026 CAE Conference, with a practical keynote from Lalit Vijay Vyas, Product Solutions Manager at Optro:

“From Spreadsheets to Autonomous Assurance: What UAE Audit and Risk Teams Need to Know About Agentic AI”

The opportunity to expand assurance coverage is exciting. But successful adoption takes more than a promise to automate everything.

Lalit will explore how audit and risk teams can assess AI-driven tools, distinguish genuine autonomous capabilities from inflated claims, and establish the data, context and traceability needed for trustworthy automation.

The session will also examine why organisations in the Middle East have an opportunity to adopt integrated audit and risk platforms rather than add disconnected tools.

Join the conversation with a clearer view of what to expect, what to question and what to prepare.

Internal Audit is entering a new leadership era.

At the 2026 CAE Conference, senior audit leaders will examine how the profession can respond to technological change, rising stakeholder expectations and an increasingly connected risk environment.

Mostafa Hassan, Chief Audit Officer at BEEAH, will lead the keynote session:

“The Modern CAE: Connecting People, Technology, and Purpose”

The session will explore how Chief Audit Executives can embrace AI and data analytics while preserving the human capabilities that remain essential to effective assurance: professional judgement, ethical leadership, collaboration and trust.

Participants will gain practical insights into building stronger organisational partnerships, improving audit effectiveness and aligning Internal Audit with strategic objectives and long-term value.
