Audit teams are expected to govern AI systems they didn’t design, using standards still in evolution, while ensuring compliance, fairness, and traceability across complex workflows.
The situation this course is for
Who this is for
Compliance officers, internal auditors, risk leads, and technology governance professionals in regulated sectors who are accountable for AI assurance but lack tailored, actionable frameworks.
Who this is not for
This is not for data scientists building models or executives seeking high-level AI strategy summaries. It’s for practitioners who must implement and verify controls day-to-day.
What you walk away with
- Apply a proven governance framework to assess AI systems across the audit lifecycle
- Design audit trails that capture model decisions, data provenance, and human oversight
- Evaluate AI risk using criteria aligned with emerging regulatory expectations
- Deploy standardized templates for documentation, review, and reporting
- Lead cross-functional AI audits with confidence, clarity, and compliance rigor
