What is the Strategic ML Engineering Career Frameworks course about?
As machine learning becomes embedded in financial, operational, and compliance decision-making, audit professionals face increasing pressure to provide assurance on systems they aren’t trained to evaluate. Traditional audit career models don’t account for data fluency, model risk, or engineering collaboration, creating capability gaps at a time of rising expectations.
