- What is an AI Governance Audit?
- An operational governance assessment that produces a structured view of how AI is actually being used across an organization — across teams, tools and workflows — and identifies governance gaps that warrant prioritized action.
- Who is it for?
- Leaders of organizations where AI usage has emerged faster than governance — typically professional services firms between 25 and 250 employees, but the engagement adapts to smaller and larger contexts.
- How long does it take?
- Most engagements deliver a complete governance view within a single operational quarter. The Intake itself is a short conversational assessment that can be completed in one working session.
- Do we need formal AI policies before starting?
- No. The audit is designed for organizations that have already started using AI without a formal governance frame. Visibility comes before policy.
- Is this compliance consulting?
- No. This is an operational governance assessment. It is not a legal, regulatory, compliance or cybersecurity audit. It produces operational clarity that compliance work can later build on.
- What if we already use AI responsibly?
- Responsible practice in pockets does not equal organizational governance. The audit verifies the operational shape of usage and surfaces what remains implicit — even in mature contexts.
- What do we receive?
- A coherent set of deliverables: executive summary, findings report, risk register, governance gap analysis, prioritized recommendations and a 90-day implementation roadmap.
- What happens after the audit?
- An executive review session aligns leadership around the findings and the roadmap. From there, organizations typically move into structured implementation — and, when relevant, into AI Decision System design work.
- How much involvement is required from our teams?
- The audit is designed to minimize disruption. It relies on a small number of structured exchanges with designated contributors, scoped during qualification.
- Can small organizations benefit?
- Yes. The Visibility Snapshot is sized for smaller contexts and produces a meaningful governance reading rather than a generic overview.
