THE WORKPAPERS
~Matthew, Chapter President
It’s the end of October, a chill in the air stings like a
bee.
Candy stocks the shelves as far as the eye can see.
It’s Halloween, but something else is haunting you at
the core of your being.
Is it a goblin, monster, or ghost?
No, but it could hurt the most.
It’s approaching; why am I struck with fear?
Employee Evaluations are here!

Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Process Automation: Opportunity and Responsibility for Internal Audit November 13, 2018 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET | 1 CPE
Business adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic process automation (RPA) brings both opportunity
and responsibility for internal audit. Internal audit has the opportunity to be a trusted advisor and collaborate with
the other functional and business unit leaders on ways to enhance the control environment as business process-
es are redesigned and automated using AI and RPA. Within internal audit, new testing approaches will be need-
ed for automated processes. Internal audit professionals also have a responsibility to understand risks intro-
duced by AI and RPA and ensure their firm’s controls are well designed and operating effectively to mitigate
those risks. They have a vital role to play in helping the business design and develop responsible AI; that is, es-
tablish assurance processes to manage the impact associated with risks like bias and security. And, perhaps the
greatest opportunity: testing of controls and other departmental tasks can be automated through RPA, expand-
ing internal audit’s capacity and freeing auditors to focus on more value-added activity. Learn more.
Webinars
Contact any Officer or Board member for more information on ways you can help give back with the Tulsa

Academic Relations Update The Academic Relations committee members have been busy the past few weeks with multiple student events
at TU and NSU-BA. All of the events focused on Internal Audit as a career option and we had several students
ask us questions about what it is like to be an internal auditor. We were also able to hand out information,
swag, and candy! These events would not be possible without the volunteers who show up and spent time
talking with students. So far this year we have connected with close to 100 students! If you are interested in
attending or participating in an upcoming panel discussion at ORU or NSU please let us know. And if you see
a student at your table during a monthly luncheon, be sure to tell them how glad you are that they came to
learn more about what we do. For questions or if you’re interested in volunteering with the Academic Rela-
