Real-World Applications

The exam tests the questions an AI auditor asks on the job. These four scenarios show how the topics appear in real audits.

Scenario 1

A bank uses an AI model to approve loans, and customers complain about unfair results.

Does the model's input data show bias, and is someone accountable for its decisions?

Scenario 2

A company buys an AI tool from an outside vendor and connects it to customer data.

Does vendor and supply chain management cover AI risks, privacy and access control?

Scenario 3

Staff start using a generative AI assistant before any policy exists.

Do AI policies, awareness training and legal requirements match how people actually use it?

Scenario 4

An AI system gives a harmful output, and the team is not sure who should respond.

Are incident management, monitoring and reporting metrics ready for AI failures?

Certification Benefits

A first-of-its-kind credential

ISACA presents AAIA as the first advanced certification focused on AI audit.

Builds on audit credibility

It adds AI expertise on top of CISA or another qualifying audit-related designation.

Shows you can advise on AI

It covers AI opportunities, risk, compliance and governance, not just testing.

Teaches AI-enabled auditing

You learn to use AI tools to plan, run and report audits more efficiently.

Backed by ISACA

The credential comes from the body behind CISA, so employers know the standard.

Career Opportunities

As more organisations adopt AI, boards and regulators ask for independent assurance. AAIA helps experienced auditors take on that work instead of leaving it to outside specialists.

IT auditorIT audit managerInternal audit leadAI assurance advisorAI governance consultantTechnology risk consultantCompliance advisor

Inside an organisation

  • Add AI systems to the annual audit plan.
  • Review AI policies, controls and incident handling.

In consulting and advisory

  • Offer AI readiness and governance reviews.
  • Advise clients on risk, privacy and regulation.

Required Skills and Experience

You cannot register for AAIA without an eligible designation. ISACA accepts these:

All holders qualify

CISA (ISACA)

Holders with an IT audit or IT advisory role focus

CIAUS CPAACCA and FCCACanadian CPAAustralian CPA and FCPAJapanese CPAICAEW ACA and FCACA ANZ CA and FCANigerian CNAHong Kong CPA and FCPA

Skills to bring

  • Solid IT audit practice: planning, testing, evidence and reporting.
  • Basic AI knowledge: types of AI, machine learning models, algorithms and the AI lifecycle.
  • Understanding of data governance, privacy and security.
  • Risk and control thinking, including ownership of AI risks and controls.

If you do not hold an eligible designation yet, ISACA points you to CISA as the route in.

Career Growth and Progression

  1. Prerequisite designation

    Hold CISA or another listed designation with an IT audit or advisory focus.

  2. AAIA

    Add AI audit skills to your existing audit expertise.

  3. Related AI credentials

    ISACA also offers AAISM for AI security management, AAIR for AI risk and AAIG for AI governance (in beta).

  4. Senior assurance roles

    Lead AI assurance, IT audit or governance programmes and advise senior management.

Exam Difficulty Level

AAIA assumes you already know audit. The difficulty comes from the AI content and the time pressure.

100 sec

Average time per question: 90 questions in 150 minutes.

46%

of the exam is AI Operations, which covers how AI is built, run, tested and attacked.

450 / 800

is a scaled pass mark, so it is not a simple percentage of correct answers.

Many questions are scenario-based, so you must pick the best audit action, not only recall a definition.

Common Preparation Mistakes

Studying all three domains equally.

Give most time to AI Operations, which is 46% of the exam.

Treating AAIA as a repeat of CISA.

Focus on AI-specific risks, models, data and incidents.

Skipping the data topics.

Learn data management, classification, quality and bias for AI.

Memorising definitions only.

Practise scenarios and decide which audit action fits best.

Ignoring the clock.

Practise at about 100 seconds per question in timed tests.

Forgetting eligibility and fees.

Confirm your designation and register early, because you have six months to sit the exam.
