PAGE FORHUMANITY| 06FORHUMANITYA Few Differences between IAAIS from Financial Audit?The skills and scope of IAAIS are differentIn financial audits, there is great nuance, detail, and precisions required to evaluate the propertreatment of accounts, debits, and credits. A special type of mind is required to execute these worksin complex organizations such as financial institutions. However, the skills required are very narrowlyfocused in the body of work referred to as accounting. Certified Public Accountants receive theiraccreditation because they demonstrate a sufficient understanding of this narrow but deep body ofknowledge.In Independent Audit of AI Systems, there is less nuance and more broad brushes of knowledgeareas. Ranging from the law (a body unto itself) to Ethics/Philosophy ( an academic discipline of itsown) and to Cybersecurity (a field nearly 20 years old), it will be a rare practitioner who can master allareas of IAAIS. Therefore specialists and teams are expected to form so that an accreditedorganization can accomplish an audit, especially an enterprise-wide audit. It is likely that thesespecializations will occur along the lines of Ethics, Bias, Privacy, Trust, and Cybersecurity, especially inlight of pre-existing expertise in Privacy and Cybersecurity. Additionally, there will be uniquecertifications based upon dedicated schemes, laws, and government-led areas of focus such asPrivacy and Data Protection laws, Bias Audits, and Children’s Codes. ForHumanity provides specializedtraining and accreditation for individuals for all specialties as well as general accreditation forindividuals.The Dynamism of the underlying marketplaceIn financial audit, the scope was and remains the “numbers” for an entity. Financial audit focusesnarrowly on debits, credits, assets, liabilities, cash flows, and balance sheets. The original version ofGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) would bear a strong resemblance to today’s version.They would not be the same, of course, new entities, new tax codes, reinterpretations of rules andstandards and the adaptation of best practices will have refined GAAP into the body of work thatexists today. However, an auditor trained in the 1970s would find a large portion of their knowledgestill useful and relevant.For AI and Autonomous Systems, the market is substantially larger and the breadth of its reach mightimpact every function of a company. Furthermore, the technology itself changes dramatically yearover year, decade over decade. In financial audit, this might be compared to an entire overhaul of atax code every few years. This pace of change is not anticipated to abate and thus, laws and bestpractices are expected to evolve at a more rapid rate. The impact of dynamism is that the criteria andcompliance will change more often requiring constant scrutiny and adaptation. It also means that theknowledge and understanding of the practitioners will have to be constantly evolved and updated. AnAI Auditor’s expertise is not likely to last for 50 years as has much of the core knowledge for financialaccounting.
