SUSEP was represented by chief auditor Marcelo Ferraz Palmeira and staff Bernardo Batista Ferreira de Carvalho and Cláudio Giraux Cavalcanti. The programme addressed internal audit’s evolution toward a more strategic function, including the use of artificial intelligence and data analytics, integrated governance, combined assurance, integrity and anti-corruption, and continuous auditing. Palmeira pointed to the relevance of these practices for strengthening governance, risk management and internal controls, and noted that SUSEP’s audit function is seeking more integrated work with the Governance, Risk and Controls Committee (CGRC) and the authority’s integrity bodies.
