AIAC-FIEW · Fellow grade
Certified AI Assurance Financial Institutions Fellow — EU/DORA
Assuring AI systems inside regulated financial institutions, where the supervisor is named and the evidence is prescribed. Two regional lines — Singapore under the MAS instruments, the EU under the AI Act, DORA and EBA guidance — each running its own Fundamentals, Professional and Fellow grades, because the supervisor whose expectations you are examined against is the point.
§ 1 — Status
Not yet open — and what is fixed
Coming soon Opens after this family’s Fundamentals cohort.
Fellow is the senior grade of the family, in the learned-society tradition: it is not earned by examination alone. It requires verified professional experience and an assessed portfolio, judged against published criteria. Those criteria, the entry requirements, and the fees are published before applications open.
What is already fixed, because it holds scheme-wide: every script is marked by two assessors — AI first and provisional, an independent human second and final; the credential carries a two-year term on the public register; and it is held subject to the Code of Professional Conduct.
§ 2 — Start now
The route runs through Fundamentals
The grades open in order, so the way to be ready for this one is the Fundamentals grade of the same family — its registration opens soon through the candidate portal.
- Certified AI Assurance Financial Institutions Fundamentals — MAS
AI governed the MAS way: the Technology Risk Management Guidelines, the FEAT Principles, and the 2024 information paper on AI model risk management, applied to AI systems in Singapore-regulated financial institutions — together with the Guidelines on AI Risk Management that MAS has consulted on but not yet issued.
- Certified AI Assurance Financial Institutions Fundamentals — EU/DORA
The EU financial-AI regime: the EU AI Act’s high-risk scope for creditworthiness, operational resilience under DORA, automated decisions under GDPR Article 22, and EBA supervisory expectations.
All grades of this family: AI Assurance — Financial Institutions · how the ladder works: how certification works.
