GenAI in Corporate Governance and Board Strategy
ICAEW
Last updated September 6, 2026
GenAI in Corporate Governance and Board Strategy belongs to ICAEW’s GenAI Accelerator Program and is pitched at the board table. It covers the board’s own oversight of AI adoption — who is accountable for a tool the organization has come to rely on — and then generative AI applied to governance work itself: board effectiveness and decision-making, investor relations, compliance oversight, talent and succession planning, and corporate culture. Practical strands include strengthening internal controls, automating fraud detection, preparing AI-supported board reports and sustainability disclosures, and explaining AI-derived findings to regulators. It is a paid course.
