75th World Continuous Auditing & Reporting Symposium (WCARS)

We are pleased to announce that the 75th World Continuous Auditing & Reporting Symposium (75 WCARS) will be held in-person and virtually on November 6-7, 2026. On behalf of the Continuous Auditing & Reporting Lab (CAR Lab) at Rutgers Business School, we invite you to attend our annual symposium.

Under this year’s theme, “Taming the Autonomous Frontier: AI Governance and ContinuousAuditing,” the symposium focuses on the rapid transition from static AI tools to fullyautonomous software agents and workflows. We will explore the critical balance between AIinnovation and accountability, looking at how the internal audit, GRC, and risk functions canestablish robust control frameworks to monitor, verify, and govern automated workflows.
