For chairs, company secretaries and non-executive directors
Give the board a reliable view of how AI is being governed.
Boards increasingly need a dependable view of the AI operating across the organisation: what it does, who owns it, where the material risks sit and whether required actions are being completed.
What the board pack contains
One document, prepared the same way every quarter.
AI uses and accountable owners
Every recorded use, what it does, and the person answerable for it.
Changes since the last review
What was added, retired or altered, and which changes carry weight.
Outstanding actions and exceptions
What was agreed last time, what is closed, and what has slipped.
Decisions required
The small number of items that need a board or committee decision.
Relevant external developments
Regulatory, sector and vendor changes matched to your own register.
Director or committee attestations
Who reviewed the pack, what they confirmed, and when.
The quarterly cycle underneath it
The pack is a by-product of work that already happened.
The register is kept current
Through the quarter, the people who own each AI use record what it does, what changed and what they have done about it. Nothing is assembled at the last minute.
Acuity reviews it and prepares the pack
Ahead of the meeting, the register is reviewed and the pack is drafted from it. The review is carried out by Ger Perdisatt, a certified ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor. The executive edits the summary and issues it.
The board reviews, decides and attests
Directors read the pack, take the decisions it asks for and attest to the review. Those decisions and attestations go back into the record, dated, so the next quarter starts from them.
A maintained inventory, clear ownership, documented decisions and evidence of periodic review help a board demonstrate that AI oversight is active rather than assumed.
Which legal obligations apply depends on the organisation’s role, the use and its risk classification. Board reporting, attestations and periodic review are governance practices aligned with ISO/IEC 42001 rather than duties that fall on every organisation. AI Register is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
