AAIA — ISACA Advanced in AI Audit

ISACA's first AI-specific audit credential, launched May 2025. Validates knowledge of AI system audit methodology, AI governance frameworks, and AI risk assessment for information systems auditors. Requires an active CISA, CIA, or CPA credential as a prerequisite — designed to extend existing audit qualifications into the AI domain rather than serving as a standalone credential. Covers AI audit planning, AI model risk assessment, AI governance evaluation, and regulatory compliance for AI systems. Targets IT auditors, internal auditors, and compliance professionals who need to audit AI systems within their existing scope. The prerequisite requirement limits the candidate pool to credentialed audit professionals, which is appropriate given the advanced governance content. Annual maintenance of $20/$35 makes this one of the most affordable ISACA credentials to maintain.
