About AISensa Academy

Many firms hold back on AI adoption because they're not sure how to enable it safely. Our training shows you how to enable AI within your company without losing control of the risk.

AISensa Academy provides AI literacy training for regulated firms: law firms, accountancy practices and financial services businesses that need their teams trained on AI governance and compliance, not just AI tools.

We train two audiences:

1. general staff, on safe day-to-day AI use, data handling, and verifying AI output before relying on it
2. senior managers and compliance officers, on regulatory mapping, human oversight, DPIAs, vendor risk, and building an evidence trail regulators can inspect

The Business Case for AI Governance Training

Untrained AI use is no longer a hypothetical risk. The EU AI Act's AI literacy obligation has applied since February 2025.

In accountancy, the FRC's 2025 guidance on AI in audit and ICAEW's revised Code of Ethics both point to the same gap: junior staff are often the ones interacting most with AI tools, and firms need a real training framework, not just a policy, to manage that responsibly.

In financial services, the FCA has been directly asking firms how they oversee AI, test and monitor its outputs, and explain AI-driven decisions to customers, while confirming that existing senior manager accountability (SM&CR) already covers AI, whether a firm has trained for it or not.

And in legal, the pattern repeats: in 2025, the SRA fined 35 firms for AML and governance failings; unrelated to AI, but the same evidentiary gap AI governance now creates: a policy existed, but the firm couldn't evidence it was followed. Separately, UK solicitors have faced regulatory referral over AI-fabricated citations reaching court filings unverified.

Across all three sectors, the pattern is identical: the accountability already sits with your firm. Training is how you close the gap before a regulator, auditor, or insurer asks you to.

Who We're Built For

Legal — Where client matter confidentiality is a governance obligation, not a courtesy. Training is framed around Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and Law Society of Scotland supervision expectations, the professional duty to verify AI-assisted work before it reaches a client or a court, and the practical realities of Court of Protection and litigation practice.

Accountancy — Where client financial data volume and Financial Reporting Council (FRC) obligations mean AI adoption and compliance risk are the same conversation. Training is framed around evidencing client data governance alongside the productivity case for AI-assisted work.

Financial Services — Where FCA-regulated firms (Financial Conduct Authority) carry audit-trail and customer-outcome obligations for any AI-assisted decision. Training is framed around Consumer Duty, individualised review trails, and demonstrable oversight.

Our Approach

We are translators, not certifiers. ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and sector guidance from the SRA, FRC and FCA are dense and written for specialists. Our job is to convert that into training your teams can act on, not a compliance lecture.

Our syllabus is benchmarked against ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, UK GDPR, and guidance from the SRA, LSS, FCA, PRA and FCA, and further checked against academic frameworks including LSE's AI Law, Policy and Governance programme, so the content stands on the same regulatory ground taught at postgraduate level, translated for practical use.

Training is tiered by seniority. General staff and senior managers each get a distinct track, mirroring the AML training model regulated firms already run.
