Spending on machine learning infrastructure is rising, but audit teams lack the tools to track or influence it effectively.

The situation this course is for

Mid-market organizations are deploying ML at scale, yet cost accountability often falls through the cracks between engineering and compliance. Audit teams are expected to provide oversight but aren’t equipped with the models, metrics, or playbooks to assess infrastructure spend. This creates inefficiencies, reporting delays, and missed opportunities to influence design decisions early.

Who this is for

Compliance officers, internal auditors, risk analysts, and technical leads in mid-market firms (50, 2,000 employees) who need to understand, track, and govern ML infrastructure costs without becoming data engineers.

Who this is not for

Enterprise-level cloud cost architects, full-time FinOps specialists, or executives seeking only high-level summaries. This course is implementation-focused, not conceptual.

What you walk away with

  • Map ML workloads to cost drivers across cloud platforms
  • Identify hidden spend patterns in training, inference, and data pipelines
  • Apply audit frameworks to infrastructure decisions
  • Build standardized cost review templates for recurring audits
  • Communicate technical cost drivers to non-technical stakeholders
