Join us for the ISACA Chicago Chapter Virtual Meeting - May 2026
Topic: From Concept to ROI and Integrating Process Mining and Machine Learning for Enterprise Performance
Title: From Concept to ROI: Developing your own Agentic AI in GRC and Audit with a positive return
Artificial intelligence is increasingly discussed within GRC and audit, yet many professionals struggle to translate concepts into practical, value-driven implementations. This session provides a grounded and practice-oriented perspective on how Agentic AI can already be applied within GRC and audit functions today.
Our first speaker, Dwayne Valkenburg, founder of AuditAgent.ai, will explain how organizations can design and deploy their own AI models on physical, on-premise infrastructure, addressing key concerns such as data sovereignty, confidentiality, and regulatory compliance. The session will explore architectural choices, governance considerations, and realistic implementation boundaries.
Participants will gain insight into how agent-based AI can be applied with a clear and measurable return on investment (ROI).
The presentation discusses how to define concrete business cases, identify suitable use cases, and distinguish between experimentation and scalable, value-creating applications.
The session will also demonstrate how AI can already support and perform control testing activities, including the analysis and validation of control evidence. In addition, it will outline how entire tasks within the IT-GRC domain may be performed by Agentic AI solutions in the future, and how this development may fundamentally change the role of GRC and audit professionals.
The presentation aims to provide participants with a clear understanding of which tasks and processes are likely to be automated, which will remain dependent on professional judgement, and how organizations can prepare for this transition in a controlled and responsible manner.
This session is intended for GRC, risk, and audit professionals seeking a realistic and practical understanding of the impact of Agentic AI on current and future IT-GRC operating models.
