No PECB credential is awarded. ## Your class Thursday 19 November 2026 · 1 day · 08:30 to 16:30 Port of Spain time Live online ### The Standards Academy Difference Is this a PECB course? No. It is a Standards.Academy course delivered with Meaningful Governance Advisory and Syntegra360 faculty. Participants who want an ISO/IEC 42001 credential take the ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer course and PECB examination, for which this course is preparation. Is the course specific to Trinidad and Tobago? The regulatory baseline is Trinidad and Tobago. Each session names what is binding today, what the regulators expect and what is under consultation, verified at the primary source in the week before delivery. Participants from Barbados, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Suriname receive the map for their own jurisdiction. What is the time zone? Sessions run 08:30 to 16:30 Atlantic Standard Time (Trinidad and Tobago), which is 07:30 to 15:30 in Jamaica and 09:30 to 17:30 in Suriname. ## About This Course Boards in Trinidad and Tobago are approving AI investments and receiving AI-generated analysis in their board packs. The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago states that the board "may delegate some of its functions, though not its responsibilities", and its May 2026 proposals to amend the Financial Institutions Act name artificial intelligence among the technologies that "have exacerbated fraud, cyber and technology risks". In a 2026 survey of Caribbean directors, 37 per cent believed their board had the education or skills to oversee AI. This one-day programme takes the three things a board does, direct, oversee and account, and applies them to AI. Directors work through realistic Caribbean cases: a board paper drafted with generative AI, an AI programme proposal awaiting approval, an automated credit system that harms customers, and the board's own use of AI tools. Each session ends with an instrument the board can use at its next meeting, and each participant leaves with a 12-month board AI governance plan with owners, first moves and review dates. In Trinidad and Tobago no AI statute exists. The duties that reach a board or an executive today come from the Companies Act (section 99: the care, diligence and skill of a reasonably prudent person), the Data Protection Act 2011 (Part I and sections 7 to 18 in force since 2012; the private-sector and enforcement Parts unproclaimed; no automated-decision provision), the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago guidelines on corporate governance (2021), cybersecurity (2023) and outsourcing (2022), the May 2026 proposals to amend the Financial Institutions Act that would add cyber security and information technology to the skills every bank board must possess, the Trinidad and Tobago Corporate Governance Code, and the Judiciary's Practice Direction on generative AI of July 2026. Participants from Barbados, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Suriname receive their own jurisdiction's page. The programme is derived from Meaningful Governance Advisory's Purpose-Driven AI (PDAI) advisory practice and the Standards.Academy PDAI courses. A two-day programme adds AI literacy for directors, value and people, a live AI incident simulation and the board's structures and records; the one-day programme can be taken first and the second day added within six months. ## Learning Objectives 1 State what the board is accountable for when management or the board itself uses AI, and map who in the company directs, oversees and accounts for AI. 2 Judge an AI investment proposal by the elements a board should insist on, and distinguish a decided AI strategy from a vision statement. 3 Use the structure of ISO/IEC 42001 as the board's checklist for the AI management system, and specify the quarterly AI report and assurance the board requires. 4 Place the company on the Trinidad and Tobago regulatory map, answer the ten questions a director puts to the general counsel, and know what is binding, expected and coming. 5 Adopt rules for the board's own use of AI in board papers, director preparation and minutes. 6 Leave with a completed 12-month board AI governance plan. ## Course Agenda Session 1: Accountability for AI: what the board owns and cannot delegate (08:30–10:15) Case: a board paper drafted with generative AI. What AI changes for a board and what it does not; the Trinidad and Tobago position in one page. Instrument: accountability map. Session 2: AI strategy and value: deciding what AI does to the business model (10:30–12:15) Case: invest or wait, an AI programme proposal. Strategy as a decided position; how capacity returned becomes value; what a board requires in an AI business case. Instrument: AI investment approval checklist. Session 3: AI risk and the management system the board relies on (13:15–14:45) Case: who approved the model? An automated credit decision harms customers and the regulator writes. ISO/IEC 42001 as the board's checklist; risk tiers, impact assessment, human oversight, third parties and cloud. Instrument: board AI reporting specification. Session 4: Trinidad and Tobago rules, the board's own use of AI and the 12-month plan (15:00–16:30) Placing the company on the map; the general counsel's ten questions; the board's AI tool rules; the evidence pack; the 12-month board AI governance plan completed; commitment round. ## Who Should Attend Chairs, board members and committee members of listed companies, state enterprises and statutory bodies, financial institutions, credit unions and family businesses Company secretaries, general counsel and chief risk officers who design the board's AI reporting Members of audit, risk and technology committees ## Prerequisites None. A 90-minute pre-work package (board AI self-assessment; the company's rows of the regulatory map; a two-page ISO/IEC 38507 summary) is supplied and recommended. ## Upcoming Live Online Sessions Thursday 19 November 2026 1 day · 08:30 to 16:30 Port of Spain time Live Online • English • Port of Spain time Axel Kravatzky €795 EUR Explore more ### ISO 37000 Courses Governance of Organizations View All ISO 37000 Courses (https://standards.academy/courses?standard=iso-37000) Guide ### ISO 37000 series: governance, anti-bribery, whistleblowing and compliance standards Read the guide (https://standards.academy/insights/iso-37000-series) ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you offer discounts? ### Why is my price different from the list price? 1 Format and price Live Online from €795 All taxes included Next session: 19 November 2026 · 1 day 2 Participant Sign in (https://standards.academy/auth) to confirm the participant and to see your price.
