What is the Audit-Tested AI Center-of-Excellence Building course about?
Audit teams are expected to validate AI systems they weren’t designed to govern. Traditional controls don’t map cleanly to machine learning pipelines, model drift, or dynamic data flows. Without a structured approach, teams face reactive scrutiny, inconsistent assessments, and delayed approvals, risking both innovation and compliance.
