AI and Data Integrity for Compliance

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) has the power to revolutionise the way companies manage their anti-bribery and corruption (ABC) compliance programmes. 

For companies with global operations, the integration of AI into compliance programmes is no longer a futuristic concept, it's a present necessity.

As regulators and enforcement bodies increasingly leverage AI to detect and investigate compliance breaches, companies must not only adopt these technologies but also understand how to use them effectively to protect against legal risks and reputational damage.

AI has the potential to greatly enhance a company’s ability to detect suspicious activities, monitor complex data sets, and ensure compliance with ever-evolving regulations. However, the adoption of AI also comes with its own set of challenges, including managing risks related to data integrity, algorithmic bias, and adherence to emerging legislative frameworks. Failing to adequately address these challenges will have consequences, including financial penalties, operational disruptions, and loss of stakeholder trust.

This half-day Business Integrity Forum is critical for companies seeking to future-proof their compliance efforts. It will provide attendees with the knowledge and practical tools they need to navigate the complexities of AI while enhancing their compliance programmes. By mastering AI, organisations can not only mitigate risks but also unlock new opportunities for efficiency, effectiveness, and innovation in compliance.
