NFRA Issues Principles on Technology Use in Audits; RBI Advances AI Governance in Finance

Auditors remain responsible for audit quality and must guard against automation bias. Separately, India's approach to AI governance in finance, highlighted by the Reserve Bank of India and supported by digital infrastructure like Aadhaar and UPI, aims to enhance investor trust and ensure data sovereignty under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
