Online: An introduction to artificial intelligence for internal auditors, Level 1, 2 days - IIA NO

In association with IIA Norway.

Who should attend?

 This course will be of value to internal auditors who are curious about generative AI and would like to take their first structural steps into its use. Those that will benefit the most from the practical use cases in the course are those at the beginning or early stages of their journey with either no or basic exposure to generate AI models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, or Microsoft Co-Pilot for example. Heads of audit and those with leadership responsibility will benefit from the course as a stimulant for their functional AI development and how to galvanise their teams on their AI journey.

Level

This course is for new beginners and internal auditors who are not too familiar with using AI. 

We also offer a follow up 4 hour course 27 March 2026, 09.00 – 13.00 AI for IA Beyond the Basics, Level 2.
