AI Governance Resources
Premium, regulator-ready AI governance for Australian financial services — practical, auditable, and defensible (not generic AI consulting). Built to run as an operating system: decisions + evidence + cadence.
Designed for: superannuation funds · asset managers · wealth/advice licensees · platforms/FinTechs · trustees, boards, risk & audit committees.
Enterprise buyers pay for governance that runs (not shelfware):
- Decision logic — who approves what and when (by risk tier).
- Escalation triggers — what forces committee review and what artefacts are required.
- Lifecycle RACI — Build → Test → Deploy → Operate → Change → Retire (+ vendor procurement stream where relevant).
- Meeting rhythm & artefacts — agendas, decision logs, action tracking, minutes-ready outputs.
- Exception handling — waivers with expiry, compensating controls, and sign‑off authority.
- Evidence expectations — what must be retained per decision for audit/regulators.
Standards coverage: every pack includes a Coverage Table mapping artefacts to recognised standards and frameworks (conditional applicability): ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, APRA CPS 230, plus ISO/IEC 27001 interfaces.
- 60‑minute Quick Start + a practical 30/60/90‑day rollout plan (execute without consultants).
- A Minimum Evidence Set (what must exist to be defensible) + evidence quality rules (“what good looks like”).
- Clause / obligation crosswalks (EU AI Act + NIST AI RMF + ISO‑led structure) showing what evidence and artefacts support each area.
- A Template Directory: “which MentoroidX pack to use when” (by SKU + file outputs + cadence + owner).
- Board & audit committee operating model: decision prompts, escalation triggers, meeting rhythm artefacts, and action closure evidence.
- One‑pagers for key roles (Board, Engineering go‑live, Risk minimum evidence, Procurement vendor onboarding, Governance forum agenda).
- Quarterly updates + change log policy (so governance stays current as standards evolve).
