What is the Compliance-Ready Innovation Capacity Building course about?

Innovation initiatives frequently bypass early compliance engagement, treating audit as a final checkpoint rather than a co-design partner. This leads to friction, last-minute findings, and missed opportunities to bake in assurance. Meanwhile, audit teams lack structured methods to engage earlier and add value beyond risk flagging.
