13:30 – 13:40 Welcome and introduction

13:40-13:40 –  The HUMAN auditor, the unique value of human insight by Maria Brosi (Robert Half)

Given her background in Talent, Organisational Effectiveness, and Applied Psychology, she offers you an inspiring perspective on the human side of the profession. “What technology doesn't see, the human auditor does.” As AI and automation continue to transform the audit profession, she believes the real differentiator will increasingly be the human capabilities that technology cannot replace. She will share and together with you explore:

• What will organisations look for when hiring auditors in 2030?
• Which human skills will become more valuable as AI becomes more capable?
• How do curiosity, professional judgment, emotional intelligence, communication, and critical thinking shape the future auditor?
• How can young professionals continue to develop these skills in an increasingly technology-driven world?

14:50 – 16:00 – The TECHNOLIGICAL Auditor, AI, automation, and the audit profession by Rob Grondhuis (Protiviti)

Experience our AI Crisis Simulation solution IRIS live. As an auditor, you're used to assessing how organisations perform under stress, but how often do you get to test it yourself? During this interactive session, you'll step into a realistic crisis scenario and experience firsthand how teams perform under pressure, where vulnerabilities emerge, and where the real opportunities for improvement lie. Insights you can bring straight back into your own audit practice.
