AI systems are being deployed faster than audit functions can adapt, creating gaps in accountability, consistency, and compliance.
The situation this course is for
Audit teams are expected to provide assurance on AI systems, but lack standardized, implementation-grade methods. Generic AI ethics principles don’t translate into actionable audit steps. This leads to inconsistent evaluations, increased review cycles, and difficulty demonstrating due diligence to leadership.
Who this is for
Compliance officers, internal auditors, risk leads, and governance professionals in technology-driven organizations who need to assess AI systems with precision and confidence.
Who this is not for
This is not for data scientists building AI models or executives seeking high-level AI strategy. It’s not for those looking for introductory AI awareness content.
What you walk away with
- Apply a structured framework to audit AI systems across development, deployment, and monitoring
- Document compliance with emerging regulatory expectations using standardized templates
- Identify high-risk components in AI workflows and prioritize audit focus
- Integrate responsible AI checks into existing audit processes without slowing down delivery
- Produce clear, board-ready reports that demonstrate rigor and alignment with global standards
