Audit teams are being asked to govern AI systems they didn’t design, with unclear standards and rising stakeholder expectations.

The situation this course is for

Generative AI is being deployed rapidly across departments, but without consistent policies, audit functions face reactive scrutiny, misaligned controls, and gaps in accountability. Traditional audit frameworks aren’t built for dynamic AI behaviors, creating confusion about ownership, risk thresholds, and validation processes.

Who this is for

Compliance officers, internal auditors, risk managers, and technology governance leads in mid-to-large organizations adopting generative AI.

Who this is not for

This is not for software developers building AI models or data scientists focused on algorithmic performance. It’s also not for executives seeking high-level AI overviews without implementation detail.

What you walk away with

  • Design audit-aligned generative AI policies that span departments and systems
  • Integrate AI governance into existing control frameworks (SOX, ISO, NIST, etc.)
  • Lead cross-functional alignment between legal, IT, compliance, and business units
  • Evaluate AI model risk using audit-appropriate frameworks and checklists
  • Deploy a living policy playbook that evolves with emerging tools and regulations
