Important: not professional advice
This course teaches how to use AI tools in compliance, audit, and governance work; it is not regulatory, legal, or audit advice and does not substitute for advice from qualified compliance, legal, or audit professionals. The certificate confirms lesson completion and a passed exam only — it does not confer a professional compliance or audit qualification, licence, or recognition by any regulator or professional body.
