ECIIA Banking Forum 2026: AI in Banking – From Hype to Value

How can AI in Internal Audit move from hype to value?

On 20 October 2026, the ECIIA Banking Forum will examine this question from four complementary perspectives: research, Audit Committee expectations, ECB Banking Supervision and implementation within banking Internal Audit functions.

The programme moves deliberately from understanding the changing audit landscape to examining governance and oversight, the supervisory perspective and practical implementation.

Programme

• 09:35 – Auditing & AI: Hype or Disruption?!
  Marc Eulerich
• 10:10 – Expectations from Audit Committees when implementing AI in Internal Auditing

• 11:05 – View from the regulators: strategy, risks, oversight and lessons learned

For professionals working in banking, Internal Audit, risk, governance or compliance, the Forum provides a focused opportunity to consider how AI is being approached across research, board oversight, banking supervision and implementation.
