Professor Fátima Geada recently published an article in the Jornal SOL on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on internal audit and corporate governance systems, highlighting the growing role of technology in risk management, supervision and organisational decision-making.
Throughout the article, the Professor analyses the relationship between corporate governance and the effectiveness of internal audit, highlighting how the integration of artificial intelligence-based technologies is redefining processes traditionally associated with control, compliance and risk monitoring.
Key benefits identified include the automation of repetitive tasks, the analysis of large volumes of data in real time, the early detection of anomalies and fraud, and greater predictive capability. These advances help to increase operational efficiency, improve the quality of information and enhance the strategic value of internal audit in supporting decision-making.
The article also highlights some of the challenges associated with the adoption of these technologies, notably issues relating to cybersecurity, new professional skills, and the ethical and regulatory requirements linked to the use of AI.
The analysis also highlights the need to develop governance models capable of keeping pace with this technological transformation, ensuring greater transparency, accountability and the responsible use of artificial intelligence within organisations.
