This course provides a concise overview of the key risks, controls, and governance frameworks that accountants must master as AI reshapes audit, tax, and advisory services in 2026. Drawing on the latest global research, you will explore data-privacy breaches, algorithmic bias, model drift, cybersecurity threats, and audit-trail gaps, then map them to emerging standards such as the EU AI Act, NIST’s AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001. Through case-based discussion, you will learn how to embed human-in-the-loop oversight, design robust internal controls, and prepare assurance engagements that keep innovation aligned with professional ethics and public trust.
