    What Is Emerging. AI, Tech and Risk. Internal Audit is standing at the edge of one of the most significant shifts in its modern history. The question is no longer whether AI, technology and emerging risk will reshape the profession. The question is whether Internal Audit is ready to lead, adapt and remain relevant as the risk landscape accelerates. In this Episode 2 of 4 of the Audit Beacon Podcast Series, created especially for Internal Audit Month, Rania Bejjani | Global Board and Executive Advisor. Mentor. International Speaker and Former three times Chief Audit & Risk Executive and Audit Beacon Award recipient brings together a global virtual roundtable of fellow 2025 Audit Beacon Award recipients to explore what is emerging across AI, technology, cyber, digital transformation, governance and enterprise risk. This episode features Dr. Ursula Schmidt from Luxembourg, Gehan Alharbi from Saudi Arabia, and Tom McLeod from Australia, each bringing a distinct global perspective on where Internal Audit is today and where the profession must go next. Together, the conversation explores the evolving role of Internal Audit in an AI-enabled world, the need to move beyond traditional assurance mindsets, and why auditors must strengthen their strategic judgement, technology fluency, risk intelligence and influence at the top table. Timely, human and strategic, this episode is for Chief Audit Executives, Internal Audit leaders, GRC professionals, Risk Management leaders, Audit Committee members, Boards, technology leaders and future-focused auditors. It is a powerful invitation to think bigger about the professionโ€™s role in shaping resilient, ethical and future-ready organisations. ๐ŸŽง Watch here on YouTube or listen on Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music ๐Ÿ’ฌ Subscribe โ€ข Comment โ€ข Share โ€” and join the conversation shaping the future of the profession. ๐Ÿ”— Connect with Rania Bejjani on LinkedIn for more insights: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raniabejjani/ ๐Ÿ“ฉ Download the โ€˜Future of Auditโ€™ Leadership Brief: https://rbadvisoryandconsultancynews.carrd.co ๐Ÿ“ฉ Explore Advisory, Mentoring & Leadership Development Programmes: Hello@RBAdvisoryandConsultancy.co.uk ๐Ÿ”— Connect with Dr. Ursula Schmidt on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/schmidt-advisory ๐Ÿ”— Connect with Gehan Alharbi on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/gehanharbi ๐Ÿ”— Connect with Tom McLeod on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tommcleod #AI #internalaudit #FutureOfAudit #audit #InternalAuditMonth #risks #leadership #governance #risk #EmergingRisk #ArtificialIntelligence #GRC #courage #confidence #authenticity #strategicbusinesspartner #strategicleadership #impact #legacy #ImpactLegacywithRania  #raniabejjani #AuditBeacon #TechnologyRisk #RiskManagement #AuditLeadership #DigitalTransformation #CyberRisk #GovernanceRiskCompliance

Internal Audit is being redefined. Frankly, with AI, IA is at a crossroads. Rising expectations, accelerating technology, and fast-changing, increasingly interconnected risks, combined with the growing need for resilience at every level of the organisation, require Internal Audit to reimagine itself and shift into a forward-looking, predictive and value-adding function. With over 30 years of international experience across India and the UAE, Biju brings a rich perspective shaped by leading Internal Audit functions across conventional, Islamic, and digital banks, and contributing to the founding of new institutions in the region. Together, they explore what it truly means to reimagine Internal Audit in a world shaped by AI, increasing regulatory pressure, audit fatigue, and the rising cost of compliance. From the shift from control to influence, to the role of aligned assurance and forward-looking risk management, this conversation challenges traditional thinking and invites leaders to step into a more strategic, value-creating role. This is a reflection on leadership, judgement, and the evolving expectations placed on Audit, Risk, and Governance professionals in a fast-changing world, grounded in pragmatic insights that can be applied in the real world. For Chief Audit Executives, Risk leaders, Boards, Audit Committee Members, and emerging professionals across Governance, Risk, Compliance, Information Security, Data Analytics and AI Governance, this episode offers a moment to pause, reflect, and reconsider what real impact looks like today. ๐ŸŽง Watch on YouTube or listen on Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music ๐Ÿ’ฌ ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ โ€ข ๐—–๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ โ€ข ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ and join the conversation shaping the future of the profession. ๐Ÿ”— Connect with Rania Bejjani on LinkedIn for more insights: linkedin.com/in/raniabejjani ๐Ÿ“ฉ Explore Advisory, Mentoring & Leadership Development Programmes: Hello@RBAdvisoryandConsultancy.co.uk ๐Ÿ”— Connect with Biju Nair on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bijurs #internalaudit #ai #riskmanagement #banking #Audit #uae #resilience #alignedassurance #integratedassurance #Governance #GRC #Leadership #AuditTransformation #StrategicLeadership #StrategicBusinessPartner #FutureOfWork #Influence #BoardLeadership #ImpactLegacywithRania
