Governance Checklist for AI-Assisted Enterprise Finance

# Define Scope and Responsibilities

Document the AI-assisted workflow, intended use, affected records, users, and decision boundaries. Identify where outputs inform or trigger actions and who is responsible for review. This checklist does not classify a system under any law or determine which obligations apply. Obtain implementation-specific legal and compliance review where relevant.

# Agree Controls and Evidence

Discuss data access, handling, validation, exception review, approval, monitoring, and audit records. Define evaluation criteria and evidence needed to verify the proposed controls. Agree retention and documentation requirements with the relevant specialists rather than assuming a universal period or certification standard.

# Plan Human Review and Ongoing Evaluation

Identify decisions that require human judgement and define review, correction, escalation, and incident procedures. Evaluate whether records adequately support investigation and oversight. Revisit controls when workflows, data, models, or integrations change. Flowtaris incorporates governance considerations into solution design; this does not establish a certified compliance module or guarantee legal compliance.
