AI forces a transformation of internal audit: the debate reaches Boca Chica

Artificial intelligence changed the rules of the game in finance too. The expansion of AI and the growth of data are transforming the way organizations manage their risks, forcing a reinvention of internal audit work. The topic was the focus of the XXIX International Finance and Audit Congress (CIFA) and the XXIV Latin American Seminar of Accountants and Auditors, held in Boca Chica.

What changes for auditors

AI makes it possible to analyze massive volumes of transactions in seconds, detect anomalies and anticipate fraud that previously went unnoticed. But it also demands new skills: understanding how algorithms work, auditing the models themselves and mastering data management.

The message for companies

Organizations that do not update their audit areas will be left blind to digital risks. The conference, which brought together regional experts, made clear that the audit of the future is a mix of human judgment and technological power.

The key figure

Data and algorithms. The new tools without which internal audit can no longer guarantee what it promises.
