Audit teams are being asked to assess AI systems they aren’t equipped to evaluate, creating gaps in oversight and accountability.

The situation this course is for

As AI adoption accelerates, audit functions are under pressure to provide assurance on complex, opaque systems. Without a standardized approach, teams risk inconsistent evaluations, missed risks, and weakened credibility. The tools and frameworks used for traditional audits don’t translate cleanly to AI-driven processes, leaving professionals to improvise in high-stakes environments.

Who this is for

Compliance leads, internal auditors, risk specialists, and technology governance professionals embedded in or supporting audit teams who need to assess AI systems with rigor and consistency.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data scientists building AI models or executives seeking high-level AI strategy overviews. It is designed specifically for audit and assurance practitioners implementing evaluation frameworks.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a repeatable framework to audit AI systems for fairness, transparency, and compliance
  • Design control points for AI lifecycle stages from development to deployment
  • Document audit findings using standardized templates aligned with global AI governance benchmarks
  • Evaluate third-party AI tools with a risk-based assurance approach
  • Lead cross-functional conversations between technical teams and governance bodies
