Audit teams are being asked to own AI governance, but lack structured, board-ready frameworks to respond effectively.

The situation this course is for

As generative AI use spreads, audit functions face rising pressure to assess risks, ensure compliance, and report upward. Yet most lack standardized policies, clear accountability models, or board-aligned documentation. This creates friction, delays, and inconsistent oversight just when leadership demands clarity.

Who this is for

Compliance officers, internal auditors, risk leads, and technology governance professionals responsible for AI accountability at the enterprise level.

Who this is not for

This is not for developers building AI models or data scientists tuning algorithms. It’s for governance professionals translating technical risk into board-level policy and audit-ready controls.

What you walk away with

  • Design board-appropriate generative AI policies tailored to audit function mandates
  • Map AI risks to existing compliance frameworks (SOX, GDPR, ISO, NIST)
  • Create audit trails and control points for AI usage across departments
  • Develop escalation protocols for AI incidents and model drift
  • Produce executive-ready reports that align technical findings with strategic risk
