A new AI certification was announced last week.
Curiosity got the better of me… so I completed it.
The AI-Enabled Coordinated Assurance Certificate Program by The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) in partnership with .
Yes - one more badge for the LinkedIn profile 🙂
But the ideas behind it matter much more.
A few takeaways from the program that resonated with me:
• Coordinated assurance is becoming essential. Breaking silos across audit, risk, compliance, and technology improves risk coverage and reduces duplication.
• AI can help connect the Three Lines. Shared risk insights and AI-enabled dashboards can significantly enhance collaboration across assurance providers.
• AI-enabled assurance mapping helps identify overlaps and gaps, allowing organizations to deploy assurance resources where they matter most.
• Human judgment remains central. AI augments professional skepticism - it doesn’t replace it.
The big takeaway for me:
The future of assurance will be human-driven and technology-powered.
At The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) Internal Audit, continuous learning and upskilling are core to how we evolve as a function - and I’m proud to be part of that journey.
Kudos to Anthony Pugliese, Brad Monteiro and the IIA team for introducing a forward-looking certification that challenges our profession to think differently about the future of assurance.
For the blockchain enthusiasts, the credential can also be verified on-chain via the QR code in the attached certification - or directly here:
