Audit teams face growing pressure to validate AI systems without clear, executable compliance frameworks.

The situation this course is for

AI adoption in financial services is accelerating, but audit functions often lack the structured, practical tools to assess compliance consistently. Traditional checklists fail to capture model behavior, data provenance, and dynamic risk exposure. This gap creates friction during reviews, slows time-to-approval, and increases regulatory scrutiny. Professionals need a methodical, up-to-date approach that bridges policy and practice.

Who this is for

Audit, risk, and compliance professionals in financial services who are engaged with or preparing for AI system reviews and governance responsibilities.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data scientists building models, executives seeking high-level overviews, or professionals outside financial services audit and compliance functions.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a structured framework to assess AI compliance across regulatory, operational, and technical dimensions
  • Design audit trails and control points specific to AI model lifecycles
  • Evaluate model risk using standardized, defensible criteria aligned with current expectations
  • Use templates and checklists to accelerate audit planning and execution
  • Lead cross-functional alignment between legal, risk, IT, and data science teams during AI audits
