Event details
AI is becoming more prevalent in financial reporting and compliance processes. In this webinar, Crowe specialists will examine how AI is being integrated into Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) environments, including financial reporting, IT general controls (ITGCs), and business process controls.
Our specialists will explore implications for internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), governance expectations, and evolving regulatory considerations. They’ll also highlight key differences between traditional IT risks and AI-specific risks along with practical use cases.
