Overview

AI is no longer on the horizon. Organisations are embedding AI into the core of business operations, decision-making and automation. As these systems grow more complex and influential, audit professionals must evolve to ensure they are governed effectively, aligned to strategic goals, and ethically sound. Without specialised AI audit capabilities, organisations risk falling behind in both compliance and innovation.

ISACA’s AAIA certification bridges this critical skills gap by equipping credentialed auditors with the ability to audit machine learning models, intelligent automation tools, and data-driven decision systems. More than just oversight, AAIA prepares you to use AI to enhance the audit process itself.

From the creators of the globally recognised CISA® certification, the ISACA Advanced in AI Audit (AAIA) certification empowers audit professionals to recognise, assess and respond to AI risks, opportunities and impacts—while also using AI to enhance audit workflows and deliver deeper insights.
