Confidence by Design: Redefining Standards in AI-Driven Auditing​

In a world where analytics shape financial integrity, trust isn’t optional — it’s everything.
Join us as we pull back the curtain on algorithm assurance, risk, and the future of trusted audit analytics.

The Real Playbook for Independent, Transparent Algorithm Assurance

As AI takes on an increasingly central role in audit decision-making, finance and audit leaders are faced with a critical choice: rely on blind trust or demand earned confidence.​

MindBridge and Holistic AI chose the latter. Rather than just talk about algorithm assurance, we built it — delivering one of the industry’s most transparent, independently
verified AI audits.​

Now we are pulling back the curtain to reveal exactly how it was done – and why it matters
more than ever.

Agenda Overview

Plus, a live Q&A: Bring your questions — let’s talk openly about trust, ethics, and innovation in audit analytics.

What you'll discover

This isn’t theory — it’s a real-world, hands-on blueprint for securing the future of trusted auditing.
