When internal audit looked for AI risk and found a tooling problem

A field note from an internal-audit cycle that opened on AI and closed on a procurement finding.

You will read what the auditors expected, what they found and the recommendation the audit committee accepted instead. Most of the AI risk in the firm sat in unmanaged tooling, not in the strategic AI programme.

Most of the AI risk in your firm is on a credit card, not on a roadmap.
