12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Audit teams are being asked to lead on AI policy without clear frameworks or board-ready guidance.

The situation this course is for

As generative AI enters core business functions, audit teams face pressure to deliver assurance without standardized policy models. Traditional compliance approaches don’t address the speed, ambiguity, or strategic exposure of AI systems. Practitioners lack structured methods to translate technical risk into board-level decisions, creating gaps in accountability and oversight.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in audit, risk, compliance, or governance roles who are stepping into AI oversight responsibilities and need implementation-ready frameworks to lead confidently.

Who this is not for

This is not for software developers building AI models or data scientists tuning algorithms. It is not for entry-level auditors without governance exposure or executives seeking high-level summaries without implementation detail.

What you walk away with

  • Design board-ready generative AI policy frameworks aligned with audit function mandates
  • Map emerging AI risks to existing compliance and control environments
  • Lead cross-functional alignment between legal, risk, IT, and executive leadership
  • Apply tested templates for AI risk disclosure, model governance, and audit escalation paths
  • Communicate AI policy impact clearly to non-technical board members
