Governance Evidence for Public & Strategic Bodies

Defensible records showing how digital and AI-assisted systems were governed — built for public accountability and inquiry.

Public accountability demands more than assurance statements

Public, arm’s-length, and strategic bodies increasingly rely on digital and AI-assisted systems for eligibility, prioritisation, service delivery, and operational decision-making.

Boards are expected to demonstrate transparent, proportionate oversight — especially where systems affect citizens, public funds, or statutory duties.

Under inquiry, investigation, or review, the central question is consistent:

What evidence shows governance was in place at the time decisions were made?

Part of Veriscopic’s work on governance evidence for boards.

What Veriscopic provides

  • A plain-English register of material digital and AI-assisted systems declared at board level
  • Time-stamped governance evidence showing accountability, sponsorship, and oversight structures
  • Board-ready Evidence Packs suitable for audit, inquiry, parliamentary, or ministerial review
  • Governance drift snapshots highlighting when declared oversight no longer matches operational reality

The outcome is a durable public record of governance — not a transient assurance narrative.
