Prepare yourself for the future of audit and assurance with the world’s first advanced AI audit credential — designed for experienced auditors and advisory professionals who want to lead the next generation of audit in the AI era.
What Is AAIA?
The ISACA Advanced in AI Audit™ (AAIA™) is a globally recognized credential that validates your ability to audit, assess, and oversee AI systems responsibly and effectively. It equips you with the expertise to tackle real-world AI challenges — from governance and risk to operational audit techniques — positioning you as an AI audit leader in your organization.
This certification helps professionals understand how to evaluate AI systems for compliance, effectiveness, ethics, and risk — all while using modern AI audit tools and methodologies.
Who Should Pursue This Certification
The AAIA credential is ideal for:
Experienced IT auditors and audit managers
Assurance and compliance professionals
Audit consultants advising clients on AI risk and controls
Professionals with existing audit or accounting credentials seeking specialization in AI audit

✔ CISA® (Certified Information Systems Auditor) — mandatory for all
✔ CIA (Certified Internal Auditor)
✔ US CPA / ACCA / FCCA / Canadian CPA / CPA Australia / Japanese CPA
This ensures that AAIA candidates already have a strong foundation in audit and assurance before specializing in AI.
