Governing the Audit Function in the Agentic Enterprise

Presented by the Arthur and Toni Rembe Rock Center for Corporate Governance and the Alpha Institute

By invitation only

Agentic AI is rapidly changing how companies operate, make decisions, execute transactions, and manage financial and operational workflows. For boards and audit committees, the question is no longer simply how to oversee AI. It is how governance, controls, assurance, and accountability must evolve when AI systems can act on behalf of the enterprise.

The Stanford Directors’ College Agentic Audit Forum is an intensive three-day program bringing together leading directors, executives, academics, and practitioners to explore the emerging governance framework for agentic AI.

Through faculty-led discussions, practical workshops, peer exchange, and a boardroom simulation, participants will examine how audit committees should approach:

  • Agent authority, permissions, and accountability
  • Internal control over financial reporting in agentic workflows
  • AI-generated evidence and behavioral assurance
  • External auditor use of AI
  • AI disclosure and financial reporting
  • Agent identity, cybersecurity, and third-party risk
  • Continuous monitoring, assurance, and governance
