What is the Audit-Tested AI Integration Risk for M&A course about?
Acquisition teams face increasing pressure to evaluate AI-driven assets, but most risk assessments lack the specificity to flag technical, regulatory, or operational red flags before close. Without an audit-tested framework, teams inherit hidden liabilities in model governance, data provenance, and system dependencies.
