• Artificial Intelligence – why its influence is going to be pervasive, risky, and revolutionary;
• How technology more broadly, including automation, Evolutionary Algorithms, the Internet of Things, and Fog computing, is going to drastically change the operational future of all organizations;
• Why a futurist’s approach to risk and risk management is different from the conventional view, and what Internal Auditors can gain by adding it to their toolkit;
• Why Internal Audit must continue to shift towards forward-looking as well as backward checking for the welfare of their organizations;
• The trends that are affecting industry, global trade, government, not-for-profits, education, and society, and how you can prepare for the changes to come

4:10 pm - 5:00 pmHow To Build and Run an Effective Compliance Assessment Program: A Practical, Real-World Guide
Speaker: Chris McClellan, Senior Manager, Deloitte
Speaker: Akbar Pasha, Director, Baxter International
Compliance Assessments are audit-like processes, usually done at a market, country or cluster level, that combine quantitative, analytical and qualitative approaches to measure the effectiveness of the compliance program in mitigating risk in the specific market assessed.
Assessments are opportunities for Internal Audit to break out of its “siloed” audit work and work collaboratively with Compliance, Legal and the market-level business leaders. Assessments are also opportunities for Audit and other participants on the Assessment team to conduct both quantitative and qualitative deep dives into high-risk markets to truly understand the risks and the effectiveness of the current program at managing those risks.
