As AI moves deeper into finance, is your organization prepared for the risks that come with it?
The pressure to adopt AI is growing, but so are the expectations around how it is governed. As AI enters financial processes, vendor platforms, and internal systems, leaders must consider accountability, control effectiveness, auditability, and evolving regulatory expectations alongside the push to innovate.
This webinar is designed for finance and technology leaders and doers responsible for building and implementing AI solutions in their day-to-day work.
Join us for AI at Scale: Governance and Controls That Keep Pace, a CPE-eligible webinar focused on the practical work behind responsible AI adoption. Drawing from Highspring’s experience developing and governing an internal AI tool, we’ll share lessons learned and explore how organizations can scope AI risk, establish clear governance, and extend existing internal control frameworks as AI use expands. A live demo will help bring these concepts into practice, giving you approaches you can consider within your own organization.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
✅ Identify key risks and governance considerations associated with AI adoption across finance processes, third-party platforms, and internally developed tools.
✅ Assess how existing internal control frameworks can be extended to AI to support appropriate oversight, accuracy, auditability, and accountability.
✅ Outline roles, responsibilities, and governance structures that can help establish clear ownership of AI-related risk as adoption expands.
✅ Apply lessons from a real-world AI build to evaluate governance and control considerations while navigating evolving technology and regulatory expectations.
