Ep 264: How Internal Audit Teams Are Building AI Tool with no Tech Background Needed (Snowflake)


Listen Later

This week on The Audit Podcast, we're joined by three members of Snowflake's internal audit team: Amrita, Pooja, and Ajay.

Amrita Kapoor, Head of Internal Audit at Snowflake, walks us through how their team is using Snowflake's native tools to build practical analytics and AI solutions. She shares several real use cases their internal audit function has deployed—many of which Snowflake customers can replicate with the tools they already have.

We're also joined by Pooja K., who takes us inside the AI tool she built for the audit team. And here's the part that might surprise you: Pooja has no technical background—no analytics, no IT, no engineering—and yet she built her AI solution in a single evening. She breaks down exactly how she approached it, what she created, and why auditors without a tech background should feel empowered to start experimenting.

Finally, Ajay R., Internal Audit Manager at Snowflake, walks through additional AI and data analytics use cases their team has implemented, highlighting what's possible when internal audit fully leverages Snowflake's capabilities.

Also, be sure to follow us on our social media accounts on LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.
