Audit teams struggle to scale impact when operating in silos from engineering and compliance functions.

The situation this course is for

Traditional audit models are misaligned with fast-moving technology delivery cycles. Without a shared operating model, control gaps emerge, stakeholder trust erodes, and audit outcomes fail to influence design decisions early. Professionals lack structured frameworks to co-create operating models across functions.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in audit, risk, compliance, engineering, or governance roles driving alignment across functions

Who this is not for

Those seeking awareness-level overviews or theoretical frameworks without implementation tools

What you walk away with

Design a cross-functional audit operating model aligned to business and technology rhythms
Map interdependencies between audit, engineering, and compliance functions
Integrate control expectations into delivery lifecycles
Lead operating-model workshops with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Operationalize audit influence beyond point-in-time assessments

How this maps to your situation

Before vs. after

Before

Operating models are fragmented, audit runs on a separate rhythm, and control integration is reactive.

After

Audit is embedded in delivery cycles, cross-functional rhythms are synchronized, and control is proactive and scalable.

If nothing changes

Without a designed operating model, audit teams remain reactive, misaligned with delivery velocity, and unable to influence design decisions at scale.
