Episode 107 — Utilize AI to enhance audit planning without outsourcing judgment (Task 23)
This episode focuses on Task 23 by showing how to use AI to enhance audit planning without outsourcing professional judgment, because AAIA expects you to treat AI as an assistant to thinking, not a replacement for accountability. You’ll learn how AI can help organize background information, identify potential risk themes, draft preliminary scopes, and suggest interview questions, while you remain responsible for validating relevance and selecting criteria. We’ll cover guardrails for planning use, including limiting sensitive data exposure, documenting how AI outputs were used, and validating suggestions against policies, prior audit results, and real organizational context. You’ll also learn how to avoid planning failures like letting AI narrow scope too aggressively, missing emerging risks, or treating generic framework language as organization-specific criteria. By the end, you should be able to answer exam scenarios by selecting the approach that uses AI to accelerate planning tasks while preserving human control over scope, risk assessment, and audit objectives.
