Audit teams are being asked to assess AI use without clear, enforceable policy guardrails.

The situation this course is for

Generative AI is being adopted quickly across departments, but audit functions lack standardized, operationally viable policies to assess compliance, risk, and control effectiveness. Without a structured approach, teams face inconsistent documentation, unclear accountability, and reactive oversight that undermines assurance quality.

Who this is for

Audit, risk, compliance, and governance professionals in regulated industries who are tasked with evaluating or guiding generative AI use within their organizations.

Who this is not for

This is not for software developers building AI models, nor for executives seeking high-level AI strategy overviews. It is specifically for practitioners responsible for designing, reviewing, or enforcing AI policy within audit frameworks.

What you walk away with

  • Design generative AI policies with clear scope, ownership, and enforcement mechanisms
  • Map AI use cases to existing audit controls and identify control gaps
  • Implement validation protocols for AI-generated audit artifacts
  • Build audit-ready documentation templates for AI policy compliance
  • Lead cross-functional alignment between legal, IT, and audit on AI governance
