Safeguarding Governance in a Digital Economy: Auditing Crypto Assets and Emerging Technologies

– Ensuring Control Over Blockchain, AI, Cloud, and CBDCs | Secure Your Organization’s Digital Transformation with Robust Governance –

Description:

As digital innovation accelerates, organizations are adopting emerging technologies like blockchain, AI, cloud computing, and crypto assets, including Central Bank Digital Currencies(CBDCs).

This training, Auditing Emerging Technologies and Crypto Assets, equips internal auditors to effectively oversee the governance and control of these critical technologies. With digital currencies like CBDCs gaining traction and the rise of decentralized finance (DeFi), it is essential for auditors to ensure the robustness of governance frameworks, security protocols, and compliance measures.

Participants will explore how to audit blockchain-based assets, assess AI risks, ensure cloud security, and evaluate crypto-asset environments like CBDCs.

This course covers auditing the key aspects of decentralized technologies and crypto assets, including their potential risks, control mechanisms, and regulatory implications.

Using real-world case studies and hands-on exercises, this training prepares auditors to safeguard digital transformation efforts and provide assurance in complex, tech-driven ecosystems. Ensure your audit function is prepared to handle the future of finance and technology.

Objectives:

  1. Understand the risks and governance challenges of blockchain, AI, cloud computing, and crypto assets, including CBDCs.
  2. Apply internal audit frameworks to assess control structures in decentralized finance (DeFi) and crypto-asset ecosystems.
  3. Audit the security, governance, and regulatory compliance of CBDCs and other digital currencies.
  4. Evaluate AI decision-making processes, identify algorithmic biases, and ensure transparency.
  5. Assess cloud computing environments for data security, privacy, and compliance with global regulations.
  6. Ensure governance and control over crypto assets, including blockchain-based transactions and smart contracts.
  7. Leverage risk-based auditing techniques to safeguard digital transformation and emerging technologies.
  8. Provide advisory services to guide strategic tech implementations and manage future regulatory developments in digital assets.
