Any technology that has the potential to significantly
transform businesses and society raises important
challenges for organizations to adopt, but also
potentially new risks that can prove difficult to
foresee and manage. New strategic possibilities,
processes, practices, skills, culture and other
significant organizational changes required to safely
leverage major technological innovations make it
imperative for C-suite executives to stay close to
these technological developments, understand
their implications and skillfully lead and manage
innovation and adoption while minimizing risks.
This year's Report was published in January 2022 and shares the risk and opportunities in the context of the current global outlook and aligned with the design of artificial intelligence
External auditors and financial accountants should consider the content in terms of external risk that might affect the future sustainability of their client companies.
Internal auditors should consider these perceptions in the design of the three-year rolling plan and the risk-based audit plan. We attach the report for your convenience, and it can be downloaded and/or read online. This is available without cost, but should you like to claim 3 CPD points, you can also complete the online questionnaire (multiple choice). The online questionnaire relates directly to the content of the WEF report.
The cost for the questionnaire and the corresponding CPD certificate is R90 per person. This can be procured online, or you can direct an email to us at cs@nsa.edu.za. Our admin office will then revert back with an official quote and invoice which can be settled via normal EFT processes.
