SYNOPSIS

As IRMA’s current chair, it gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to our 60th anniversary celebratory conference. And what a conference it is, with internationally recognised, prestigious speakers giving their views on how artificial intelligence is likely to influence the direction of our profession.

The IT risk and assurance arena has had to adapt to the control challenges inherent with the changes in the technology, starting from single batch programs being run on mainframe computers to today’s explosion in the use of AI. Not only have we adapted our risk management and assurance processes to deal with the threats, but we have also adopted the technology to help us to do so.

IRMA has always been in the vanguard in identifying the threats posed by technological change, but also how they can be used to our professional advantage.

Today’s conference is the latest in our continuing educational programme to enhance our profession and is worth eight CPD/CPE hours for those of you who are professionally qualified.
