Is artificial intelligence a board level priority, or still an IT problem? In this episode of the podcast, host Jodi Ong is joined by specialists from Singapore, Indonesia, Australia and the Philippines to explore how AI is reshaping internal audit across the region.

The panel unpacks what responsible AI governance looks like in practice, from ownership and accountability to human oversight and evolving regulation. They also examine the growing threat of AI-enabled fraud, including phishing, fabricated documents and deepfake impersonation, and share practical starting points for testing existing controls.
Rounding out the discussion, the panel considers how AI is changing the skills auditors need, and why judgement, not automation, will define the profession's future.
