Key considerations in auditing data governance

As every industry moves to adopt their version of artificial intelligence, well-governed organizations are first assessing their data governance programs and capabilities. As the foundation for data-driven technology, the framework around ingesting, storing, using, archiving and destroying data is equally or more important than the enabling Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology being built upon it. In this session, we’ll explore data governance internal audit best practices that attendees can integrate into their internal audit plans.

Vendor fraud
