  1. Module 01

    Advanced Applications in Assurance, Tax, and Advisory

    Take AI into the hardest professional work — audit risk assessment, complex written tax advice, and forecasting and valuation support — and document exactly what the model contributes and what the licensed professional does alone.

  2. Module 02

    Governance and Accountability

    Build a firm AI governance programme — policy, inventory, named owners, and model risk management adapted from banking supervisory guidance — that fits the AICPA and PCAOB quality management standards and places accountability where the professional rules already put it.

  3. Module 03

    Security, Privacy, and Vendor Assessment

    Assess an AI vendor from its SOC 2 report, contract, data residency, and section 7216 posture; specify the access, encryption, logging, and retention controls the Safeguards Rule requires; and apply the SSTS data-protection standard and state board confidentiality rules to AI processing.

  4. Module 04

    Regulatory and Ethical Risk

    Survey the AI regulatory landscape that touches accountants and their clients — state AI laws, SEC cybersecurity disclosure, state boards — and work through independence when a firm provides AI services to attest clients and bias, fairness, and explainability in AI-influenced accounting decisions.

  5. Module 05

    Leadership, Implementation, and Independent Verification

    Lead an AI programme across a firm or finance function with a roadmap, change management, and training; independently verify AI-dependent controls in internal control over financial reporting under SOX section 404, AS 2201, and COSO; and prepare for the comprehensive scenario examination.
