What is the ISO 42001 for Senior Finance Leaders course about?

Finance leaders often arrive late to technology governance conversations, limiting their ability to shape outcomes. When AI strategy, vendor selection, or system upgrades move forward without early finance input, it creates misalignment, budget friction, and risk exposure. The expectation is shifting: senior finance roles are now accountable not just for cost control, but for strategic influence in technology governance.
