The AI governance opportunity: Internal audit’s role
As AI use grows, good governance is a must to expand safely without stifling innovation. Internal audit teams thus have an enormous opportunity to help their organisations use AI responsibly whilst maximising benefits such as intelligent insights, efficiency, competitive advantage, and brand differentiation. Download this guide from AuditBoard and learn how to get started today.
AI governance is relatively new: An April 2025 AuditBoard poll found that 48% of GRC professionals said their programs had been in place for less than a year, and another 22% had no dedicated programme yet. But organisations can’t afford to wait — employees and competitors are already using it regardless. Plus, a recent McKinsey study found that an overwhelming majority (92%) of companies plan to increase investment in GenAI over the next few years.
To manage AI use effectively, you first have to know about it. That’s why responsible AI governance is the better path. AI governance is an extension of enterprise risk management, specifically customised to fit your organisation’s AI use and strategy. It’s vital because AI creates new risks that traditional risk management fails to address, leaving organisations exposed.
AI use and governance are a balancing act. Organisations want to encourage AI for innovation, but they need governance to ensure responsible, sustainable use that is aligned with their strategy and values. By leading with the benefits, internal audit can reframe the perception of governance as a blocker and position themselves as strategic advisors.
