Ep 231: Enhancing Audit Analytics: Lessons in Automation and AI w/ Ishan Kunkur (Delta Air Lines)

This week on The Audit Podcast, we're joined by Ishan Kunkur, Digital Analytics Program Manager at Delta Air Lines.

In this episode, Ishan shares how his team has embedded analytics into the audit process—from upskilling auditors with Power Query and Power BI training to automating SOX control testing, saving 360 hours annually. He explains how they evolved from performing analytics for audits to enabling auditors with data-driven tools, ultimately expanding into SOX automation and GRC dashboarding.

Additionally, we dive into the intersection of AI and blockchain, discussing how blockchain's immutable ledger can enhance AI models by ensuring data integrity. Ishan also shares his perspective on career growth in an AI-driven world, emphasizing adaptability and continuous learning.
