Organisations are rapidly evolving through innovation and technological advancements. Emerging technologies are redefining business models, products and processes and creating vast opportunities but also new areas of risk. The role of Internal Audit (IA) is vital in providing independent insights into the adequacy and effectiveness of risks and controls for the Audit Committee and Board, but IA can also play a key role as trusted risk and controls advisor to the business embarking on emerging technology journeys.

This session will share insights in the applications and risks of emerging technologies (particularly in relation to AI, Blockchain and Cloud); and discuss the need for agility and change in IA to better address these technologies in the rapidly evolving business and technology landscape. 

Watch the following video on “The Role of IA in Relation to Emerging Technologies” by Mr. Lyon Poh, Partner and Head of Digital & Technology practice at KPMG in Singapore, extracted from IIA Singapore's Annual Conference 2019 and answer the following questions.
