AI systems are moving fast, but audit teams lack structured, repeatable methods to assess risk, verify controls, and demonstrate compliance.

The situation this course is for

Audit professionals are being asked to evaluate AI-driven decisions without clear frameworks, standardized controls, or alignment between technical output and regulatory expectations. This creates delays, inconsistent findings, and elevated exposure during reviews.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in audit, compliance, risk, or governance roles who need to lead AI risk assessments without becoming data scientists.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data engineers building models or executives seeking high-level AI strategy overviews.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a standardized AI risk taxonomy aligned with NIST and ISO frameworks
  • Document model behavior and decision logic for audit trail completeness
  • Map AI controls to existing compliance requirements (e.g., FERPA, SOX, HIPAA)
  • Lead cross-functional AI audit planning with engineering and legal teams
  • Produce auditor-ready documentation packages using proven templates
