See how DEWR is using its AI Workbench to analyse audit reports and identify strategic risks. This session will highlight how AI can support internal audit teams by summarising findings, spotting patterns, and generating insights that inform decision-making. It’s a compelling example of how AI can enhance assurance functions and help agencies move from reactive to proactive risk management.
