AI Governance:
Why a Forensic CPA Perspective Matters in 2026

Monte Fisher, CPA (Retired), CFE — With over 25 years of experience in forensic auditing, compliance programs, internal controls, and government oversight, I examine AI governance through the lens of risk, accountability, and regulatory reality.

The Growing Challenge

As organizations rapidly adopt AI, the focus is shifting from innovation to governance. Boards, executives, and compliance leaders are asking critical questions about risk management, auditability, bias, data privacy, and regulatory compliance.

My Perspective

My background in forensic auditing and compliance gives me a unique viewpoint. While many discuss AI capabilities, fewer address the hard questions of controls, documentation, accountability, and long-term risk mitigation — areas where traditional auditing and compliance expertise becomes highly relevant.
