When Assore Group inherited a paper-heavy board process, they went looking for gold. ⛏️ Diligent Boards scaled operations globally, then GovernAI helped excavate even more. Now AI Smart Risk Scanner surfaces risks and red flags before they hit the boardroom, and AI Smart Minutes turns meeting chatter into accurate records automatically. bit.ly/4Avjd1R

Most boards route AI oversight straight to the audit committee. Mary Lee Sharp thinks that's a mistake. As EVP of Human Capital at Beneficial State Bank, she argues AI adoption is a workforce and org-design problem first, not just a risk one and belongs in front of the full board. Where does AI oversight sit on yours? #AI bit.ly/3V6hNeg

She left her operating role to care for her wife. Then the founder called and asked her to join the board.

Some public sector organizations are taking documents off their websites. Not because the information is out of date, but because they can't make the PDF accessible in-house in time for the DOJ Title II deadline, and can't afford to send it out for remediation. Today we announced the DocAccess Integration with Diligent Community, built with CivicPlus, that will support an organization’s compliance efforts. It detects PDF documents uploaded to agenda packets, supporting materials and libraries, then generates a screen-reader-friendly HTML version alongside the original file. DocAccess gives residents, families and screen reader users an ADA-aligned version of PDF documents that would otherwise go unread, at a volume manual remediation was never going to reach. Available with Diligent Community, BoardDocs and iCompass. bit.ly/4cWPgxI

💡 Most teams are stuck between three doors: → Build their own AI → Buy a tool with a bit of AI in it → Try to fuse the two together And most honestly can't tell which is right. That's the hardest part of a risk team's job right now, according to Scott Bridgen, who spent the past year leading the team behind our risk and audit agents. His answer is the part we cared most about getting right, and why judgment still stays firmly in human hands. He breaks it down in the clip.

Ask a room of risk and audit professionals what AI means for them, and the quiet worry is usually the same one — their job. We caught up with Jay Cameron on the floor. He had a different read on the topic. Let AI take the chasing, the evidence collection, the assessment follow-ups, and you get back the time for the judgment you actually trained for. It's what our new risk and audit agents are built to do. Clear the admin, protect the strategic thinking. bit.ly/4yzq0WC #GartnerERAC

Most risk managers spend the week running the workflow, not interpreting what it means for the board. We caught up with Jay Cameron on the floor, just after we launched our risk and audit agents at #GartnerERAC. His pick is the risk side. Let agentic AI handle the ERM workflows, and risk managers get back the time for the analysis and the boardroom conversation that actually needs them.

For years the most useful audit analytics sat behind whoever could write the scripts. We caught up with Neil Barlow on the floor on how ACL AI Studio changes that. Ask for the test you want in plain English, run it across the full population instead of a sample, and skip the scripting. It's the same ACL a lot of this room already trusts, rebuilt for the AI age. bit.ly/4Amvbeu #GartnerERAC #ACL #AI

🎤 Scott Bridgen's session drew one of the busiest rooms at #GartnerERAC so far, and it opened on something a lot of risk and audit teams are wrestling with. Most of us are still using AI as an assistant, when the real shift is letting it work as an agent. On stage with Scott was Ed Levy, Chief Audit Executive at The Heico Companies LLC, who brought the view from inside a live program. Ed runs ERM and audit at Heico on Diligent, and he shared how he's been using AI to take the busywork out of his team's workflows and mature his ERM program, spending less time on coordination and more on the work that needs real judgment. Scott carried it forward to where this is heading, and the part our FDEs (Forward Deployed Engineers) play in getting there, working shoulder to shoulder with teams to build the specialized AI implementations that fit how they actually operate. It ties straight back to what we unveiled this week. New agentic capabilities in Diligent One that give risk and audit teams their time back, with people firmly in control of the decisions that matter. Day two is underway. More to come from Dallas. #Dallas #Texas #AI #AgenticAI

🎥 Every AI vendor at #GartnerERAC is selling speed. Very few are talking about judgment. We caught up with Neil Barlow on the floor, and his point was that the value comes from keeping a person in the review, not from how fast AI drafts something. "Writing is thinking," and when nobody's doing the thinking, the output isn't worth much. It's the idea behind our new risk and audit agents. They move the work forward, the person keeps the judgment. bit.ly/4yzq0WC

🎬 Day one at #GartnerERAC in Dallas did not disappoint. We unveiled our new agentic capabilities in Diligent One for risk and audit teams, and from the moment the doors opened the booth barely had a quiet minute. Demos back to back, a lot of good questions, and a lot of conversations about what agentic AI actually looks like in real risk and audit work. Scott Bridgen and Ed Levy took the stage for "The Autonomous Risk Officer" and made the case brilliantly to a packed room. Day two starts now. Come find us at Booth 201 if you're here.

🤠 Everything's bigger in Texas and so is the team we brought to #GartnerERAC in Dallas. They're not only here for the photo. Now that AI agents are making risk and control recommendations, auditors want to know who signs off when one gets it wrong. That's the ground we lead on. We make sure a human signs off before anything consequential happens, and that every recommendation can be traced back to what it was built on. Our latest agentic capabilities went live in Diligent One earlier today, and that's what the team is here to talk through. We're at Booth 201 through tomorrow. Come find us if you're in Dallas, and follow along for more from the floor this week. Meet your new (agentic) risk and audit colleagues in today's launch: bit.ly/46qhltM #AI #AgenticAI #Texas #Dallas #USA

Hot off the press: Today at #GartnerERAC, we announced new agentic capabilities in Diligent One that will fundamentally change how GRC teams operate. 🤖 The orchestration agent takes requests in everyday language and routes work to risk and audit agents to execute workflows. Teams spend less time on administration while people stay in control of decisions, approvals and accountability. 📊 Meanwhile, AI reporting turns the same live data into board-ready reporting in minutes. 🧠 The GRC brain connects regulations, policies, controls, risks and actions to deliver clearer insights and more useful guidance.

Teachers Mutual Bank Limited's internal audit team ran on spreadsheets and manual evidence collection for years. It worked, but it meant rebuilding reports by hand every cycle. For a bank founded by teachers, that's a lot of homework to grade twice. 📚 Diligent One helped them balance the books. Here's how: bit.ly/4h3MkjV

One client asked us to build an AI trained to think like an activist investor... so it could rip into their strategy before a real one did. A decade ago, this would have sounded far-fetched. Today, companies are doing it! Our CEO Brian Stafford tells @Fortune where boardroom AI is actually heading. bit.ly/4x1C2H0

A board approves an AI business case on a savings projection. A year later, nobody can say whether the savings showed up. That's the gap Aniel Mahabier of INOP breaks down on the latest Corporate Director Podcast: the harder oversight question isn't the technology, it's whether management can show adoption and capability gaps while the deployment is happening, not after. If you're the one signing off on these business cases, listen here: bit.ly/4xawmup #AI #GRC #governance #budget

Every third-party risk team we talk to assumes everyone else has a more mature program than they do. Nobody actually knows if that's true. We teamed up with ECI @complianceweek to find out. If you work in compliance, risk, or procurement, this is your chance to see how your program stacks up against everyone else answering, before the rest of the industry does. Take it here, we'll share what we find this fall. bit.ly/46hpIHU
