Navigating AI Risks in Fintech Innovation
Joe Zito, CPA, Doeren Mayhew
Lindsey Becker, CRCM, Doeren Mayhew

Join Doeren Mayhew's Joe Zito and Lindsey Becker for an informative presentation designed to update Supervisory Committee members and internal audit professionals of the risk associated with fintech organizations as they rapidly adopt artificial (AI) intelligence to drive growth, efficiency and audit quality within Internal Audit. 

Credit unions are increasingly leveraging AI driven fintech solutions to enhance member experience, improve lending decisions, streamline operations, and combat fraud. While these technologies offer meaningful benefits, they also introduce new and evolving risks that challenge traditional control frameworks and internal audit approaches.

Attendees will explore how Internal Audit can provide effective assurance over AI enabled processes—whether developed internally or through third party fintech partnerships—while supporting management’s innovation goals. This session will cover balancing risks and rewards and investigate how internal audit departments can address these challenges.
