Top Insights on AI for Chief Audit Executives
As AI accelerates across the enterprise, Chief Audit Executives (CAEs) face new layers of complexity. While 84% of audit teams are experimenting with GenAI, only 38% feel confident integrating it into their workflows. Proactive assurance is now critical as AI amplifies risks in data, cybersecurity, privacy, and third-party ecosystems.
Download the Gartner Top AI Insight report to discover answers to four critical AI questions your peers are asking:
- How can I determine the right AI use cases for audit to invest in?
- How can we drive audit teams’ effective use of AI tools?
- What is audit’s role in the organization’s AI governance?
- How should we adapt auditing approaches to cover AI-related risks?
About Top Insights on AI for CAEs
AI and GenAI can empower CAEs to deliver faster, higher-quality results across both audit execution and departmental operations, creating opportunities to boost the strategic value they provide to the organization. At the same time, widespread use of these technologies throughout the organization creates new assurance imperatives for audit.
The impact of AI for audit extends far beyond audit operations. As organizations accelerate enterprisewide AI adoption, new risks and assurance challenges emerge. Current audit coverage is heavily weighted toward AI governance, which, while critical, is insufficient on its own. CAEs must broaden their assurance strategies to encompass the broader spectrum of AI risks — including data governance, cybersecurity and the compounding effects of AI on existing risk domains — to achieve more robust assurance in an increasingly complex risk environment.
This Gartner report guides CAEs on effectively adopting AI within their audit function and expanding assurance to address the full range of new risks AI introduces across the organization.
