What you will be able to do

Build audit capability for an AI-shaped work environment.

Move beyond vague AI awareness into practical, responsible methods that support better planning, testing, analysis, documentation and assurance.

01

Plan with more structure

Use AI to organise audit universes, risk inputs, scoping notes, interview plans and control narratives while keeping audit ownership with the team.

02

Review documents at speed

Apply AI-supported approaches to policies, procedures, contracts, meeting notes and working papers with stronger traceability and review habits.

03

Find useful data signals

Frame data questions, explore anomalies and trends, and turn analysis into risk-focused audit follow-up without treating AI output as proof.

04

Test controls more intelligently

Identify high-value control-testing use cases, repeatable procedures, potential exceptions and practical continuous-monitoring opportunities.

05

Report with clearer insight

Prepare stronger observation drafts, root-cause questions, management summaries and board-ready messages with rigorous human review.

06

Assess AI-related assurance risk

Understand how internal audit can examine AI governance, data, controls, human oversight, bias, monitoring and accountability.

Across the audit lifecycle

Put AI to work where audit teams already spend their time.

The course uses familiar audit activities rather than abstract AI demonstrations. Learners work through practical scenarios that connect AI to audit methodology and controlled decision-making.

  • Planning and risk assessment: organise inputs, map risks, frame questions and identify where deeper work is justified.
  • Control understanding and testing: structure narratives, test ideas, evidence requests and exception follow-up.
  • Data and document analytics: translate audit questions into clear analysis, review outputs and investigate signals.
  • Fraud and anomaly awareness: recognise patterns worth escalation while protecting audit skepticism.
  • Reporting and remediation: produce clearer observations, action tracking and management communication.
  • AI assurance: examine governance, controls, accountability and monitoring around AI-enabled business processes.
A critical distinction

Two AI capabilities every modern audit function needs.

Most training pages blur these together. We teach both, clearly and responsibly.

Use AI in internal audit work

Improve planning, documentation, research, analytics, control testing, reporting and team productivity. The goal is better-quality work with audit professionals retaining review, skepticism and accountability.

Audit AI-enabled systems

Understand the assurance implications of AI adoption: governance, roles, data, model or tool risk, human oversight, monitoring, transparency, control evidence and escalation paths.

The assurance approach is informed by established internal-audit and AI-risk principles, including the IIA Global Internal Audit Standards and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. This is practical professional training, not a certification course for either framework.

15+ hour curriculum

Practical AI for auditors, built in six focused modules.

Designed for professionals who need usable audit outputs, not a technical AI degree or a generic productivity workshop.

01

AI foundations for internal auditors

Understand the AI landscape, common workplace tools, the audit-function opportunity, data boundaries, and where human judgment cannot be delegated.

02

Prompting, evidence and professional skepticism

Build prompts around objective, context, source material, output format and review criteria. Learn to challenge outputs, retain traceability and avoid unsupported conclusions.

03

AI-assisted planning, risk and control mapping

Apply AI to audit-universe inputs, risk assessment, process understanding, control narratives, interview preparation, test planning and audit-program development.

04

Audit analytics, documents and exception signals

Use AI alongside Excel, Power BI and audit-analytics concepts to explore data, review documents, spot patterns, frame anomalies and shape follow-up work.

05

AI-enabled processes, governance and assurance

Assess AI-related roles, data use, controls, monitoring, bias and explainability considerations, human oversight and audit evidence across AI-enabled processes.

06

Audit reporting, implementation and your AI use-case plan

Turn practical learning into clearer observations, management reporting and a structured plan for safe, high-value AI adoption in your own audit function.

Practical toolkit

Leave with templates your audit team can actually use.

Learning is reinforced with reusable, audit-focused tools rather than generic AI prompts.
