Use AI to work faster and detect more — without creating new risks

Duration: 1 day (7 hours)
Format: Live workshop · on-site or online

Overview

AI is changing how audit, risk and compliance work gets done — from drafting test scripts and summarising policies to spotting anomalies in large data sets. This hands-on course shows where AI genuinely helps, where it fails, and how to use it responsibly.

We cover prompting techniques for professional work, AI-assisted analytics for fraud detection, validating AI output, data-protection considerations and the governance expectations introduced by the EU AI Act.
