Today’s guest is Itumeleng Masunyane, Senior Vice President of Internal Audit at Amicorp Group. Amicorp provides corporate management, financial markets, and fund administration services with a strong presence in emerging markets. Itumeleng joins Emerj Editorial Director Matthew DeMello on the show to discuss the expanding role of AI in internal audit — moving beyond compliance into broader strategic influence across the enterprise. She shares how AI is enabling real-time risk monitoring, automating routine audit tasks, and helping internal audit teams generate timely insights for business leaders. Their conversation also explores how audit functions can reposition themselves as key players in digital transformation efforts and what foundational shifts in data infrastructure and team culture are needed to support that evolution. For audit and risk leaders, Itumeleng offers a grounded perspective on where AI is already making a measurable impact — and why human judgment remains essential for interpreting results, advising stakeholders, and driving long-term value. The views expressed by Itumeleng on today’s program do not reflect that of Amicorp or its leadership. This episode is sponsored by MindBridge.
