Welcome to Certified: The ISACA AAIA Audio Course. I’m your guide for this series, and my job is to make AI auditing feel clear, structured, and doable for people who already have a full plate. Across these episodes, you’ll build a practical mental model for how AI systems work in an organization and how an auditor or assurance professional should evaluate them. Expect plain language, a steady pace, and a focus on what you can actually test, document, and defend. We’ll spend time on governance, data, models, controls, and monitoring, but we’ll always bring it back to audit outcomes: scope, criteria, evidence, findings, and reporting that leaders can act on.
Here’s how to use Certified: The ISACA AAIA Audio Course. Start at the beginning, even if you’re experienced, because the early episodes set shared definitions and a consistent way to think about evidence. Listen once for understanding, then listen again when you’re ready to turn concepts into checklists you can use in the real world. If a term is new, don’t pause to research it mid-episode—keep going and let repetition do its job, because we’ll reinforce the same ideas from multiple angles. If this course is helping you, follow the show so new episodes land automatically. Subscribe wherever you get podcasts.
