Reskilling your audit and assurance team for the AI era

Most firms have moved past pilots and vendor selection, but a persistent gap remains between AI deployment and actual results. A global IDC study of more than 1,000 senior audit leaders found that 66% say AI is already in their firm's strategy. Only 28% feel very or extremely prepared to reskill their staff for it.

That gap isn't a technology problem. It's a people problem, and most firms are leaving it unsolved.

This eBook draws on research and conversations with audit leaders to lay out what reskilling actually requires.

Inside, you'll learn:

• The four skills the AI era actually demands — data analysis, AI literacy, professional judgment and governance
• Why the shift from "executor to evaluator" changes what junior, senior and partner-level staff each need to learn
• The three drivers behind the readiness gap, including the "efficiency trap" that quietly displaces investment in human capability
• A four-step framework for building a reskilling strategy that changes behavior
• Why governance and traceability are now auditor skills, not just IT policy
