Three years of pandemic and global macroeconomic disruption has shifted how internal audit talent retention strategies are executed. Currently there is a much greater emphasis on dispersed workforces, agile workplace cultures, and in some cases even remote auditing.  For many organizations these trends have impacted talent recruitment and retention across the entire organization, especially in areas of employee engagement and upskilling.  As a result, this has triggered greater emphasis on finding improved employee engagement tactics through learning and cross-training opportunities along with permanent changes in the way long-term strategic planning for internal audit and organizational talent retention must be approached.

About Self-Study Certificate Program

Data is the driving force for most management decisions and many leaders will tell you it is their most valuable asset. For many organizations, it is also their most uncontrolled asset. Over the decades, organizations have created and accumulated an inordinate amount of data and the amount grows daily. The challenge for many organizations is three fold: we do not know what data we have, how many copies we have, nor where those copies are located. Proper data management starts with an accurate and complete inventory of all data and information assets. Internal audit’s ability to guide our organizations starts by improving our own data literacy.

This certificate program is designed to ensure the internal audit community possesses the fundamental data literacy competencies to effectively assess an organization’s data governance and management practices, including their data analytics capabilities. 

This certificate program is comprised of 6 modular courses:

• Data Literacy and Governance
• Data Management and Protection
• Data Gathering Techniques and Validation
• Data Analysis
• Using Data Analytics to Identify Business Problems and Assess Sustainability
• Diverse Platforms, Automation, and Transformation

Participants who complete all course modules are eligible to sit for the certificate exam which is administered on The IIA’s LMS platform.

ChatGPT launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, and garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. However ChatGPT is not the first generative AI, nor will it likely be the last.

Over two billion dollars have already been invested in generative artificial intelligence, a rise of 425 percent since 2020. Machine learning is one of the more popular applications of generative artificial intelligence. This technique can be used to generate new images, videos, or text based on training data. ChatGPT, DALL-E 2, and Bing AI are just some of the popular examples of generative AI tools.

While these new tools are exciting, especially from an efficiency perspective, given that generative AI can enable businesses to automate specific tasks and focus their time, energy and resources on more important strategic objectives, use of such technology it does not come without risks. As trusted advisors, internal auditors have a responsibility to educate themselves on generative AI risks, and the associated governance that should be in place if their organization is considering the use of such tools.

This course will provide learners with an overview of the risks associated with the implementation and utilization of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies within organizations including key topics such as data privacy, acceptable use policy, cybersecurity, and plagiarism. Participants will gain the necessary knowledge and skills to establish robust governance frameworks and effectively mitigate risks related to generative AI implementation.
