What is the Compliance-Ready AI Audit Readiness course about?

Public-sector teams often scramble to assemble documentation, define accountability chains, and validate model integrity only after an audit is announced. This reactive posture increases exposure, delays programs, and strains stakeholder trust. With rising regulatory scrutiny, the cost of unpreparedness is no longer just compliance, it's credibility.
