Audit teams are being asked to govern AI systems they aren’t equipped to evaluate

The situation this course is for

Policies are often built by compliance teams without technical grounding, or by engineers without audit awareness. The gap leads to frameworks that look good on paper but fail during review, creating rework, delayed adoption, and misaligned controls.

Who this is for

Compliance leads, internal auditors, risk officers, and technology governance professionals who need to establish credible, enforceable AI policies within regulated environments

Who this is not for

This is not for data scientists building models, nor for executives seeking high-level AI strategy overviews. It’s for practitioners who must implement and validate policy in daily operations.

What you walk away with

  • Design generative AI policies that pass internal and external audit scrutiny
  • Map technical AI workflows to audit control points and compliance requirements
  • Integrate policy with existing risk management and governance frameworks
  • Accelerate stakeholder alignment between legal, IT, and audit functions
  • Deploy using ready-to-adapt templates and a phase-based implementation playbook
