12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Compliance teams are expected to govern AI systems without clear, executable frameworks aligned to financial regulations.

The situation this course is for

AI adoption in financial services is accelerating, but compliance functions lack structured, field-tested methods to assess, monitor, and validate AI systems in a way that satisfies both regulators and internal stakeholders. This gap creates inefficiencies, rework, and misalignment between legal, risk, and technology teams.

Who this is for

Compliance officers in financial services institutions who are responsible for overseeing AI governance, risk management, and regulatory alignment of automated decision-making systems.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data scientists focused solely on model development, nor for executives seeking high-level overviews without implementation detail.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a standardized risk-tiering framework to AI systems based on financial impact and regulatory exposure
  • Implement audit-ready documentation workflows for model development and deployment
  • Design monitoring protocols that detect drift, bias, and performance degradation in production AI systems
  • Align AI governance practices with current expectations from regulators including SEC, CFPB, and global counterparts
  • Lead cross-functional AI compliance initiatives with confidence using field-tested templates and checklists
