Course Overview

When an algorithm makes a financial decision, can you prove it was fair, accurate, and compliant? As AI becomes embedded in audits, accounting systems, and business processes, ensuring transparency, trust, and accountability is no longer optional, it’s a core professional obligation for CPAs and IT auditors.

This CPE course takes you inside the fast-evolving field of AI auditing, from the building blocks of AI systems to the real risks posed by opaque, black-box models. You’ll work with proven frameworks like COBIT, COSO ERM, and the GAO AI Framework, and learn practical methods for maintaining data lineage, model transparency, and auditability. Using case examples, you’ll see how to scope AI audits, test model fairness and explainability, and produce human-readable audit trails that stand up to regulatory scrutiny. Emerging practices such as continuous AI auditing and new compliance expectations are also covered to help you stay ahead.

Major Topics:

  • Foundations of AI Auditing
  • Key AI System Components
  • AI Risk Assessment and Mitigation
  • Data Lineage and Control Implementation
  • Scoping, Testing, and Reporting AI Audits
  • Emerging Trends and Continuous AI Auditing

Whether you’re auditing a predictive analytics engine or a generative AI chatbot, this course shows you how to verify compliance, trace data flows end-to-end, and confirm ethical, transparent outputs. You’ll gain insight into emerging practices such as continuous AI auditing and new regulatory requirements, knowledge that positions you to protect stakeholders, uphold professional standards, and lead in AI-driven environments.
