What is the Audit-Tested AI Integration Risk for M&A course about?

Multi-site integration programs often inherit inconsistent data practices, legacy controls, and fragmented documentation. When AI is introduced post-acquisition, the lack of standardized risk assessment increases exposure during regulatory review and operational handover. Teams are expected to deliver integration speed while maintaining compliance rigor, without clear frameworks to bridge the two.
