Executive Session
Edition 16 April 2026
A closed session for CROs, Heads of Risk, Audit Partners and Compliance Leaders on the structural impact of the EU AI Act on governance, assurance and operational compliance.
Limited seats. By invitation only.
Why this concerns your responsibility
The EU AI Act places direct responsibility with risk management, assurance and compliance. Policy alone is no longer sufficient.
- Compliance must be demonstrable — not described, but proven
- Supervisors expect operational controls, not policy documents
- AI systems fall under your risk framework — classification and control are your mandate
- The line between advisory and assurance is shifting: what can you still certify?
- Inspection readiness requires continuous monitoring, not periodic reviews
- Board-level accountability requires documented decisions, not just procedures
Programme
Four blocks of 30 minutes each on risk classification, assurance, operational compliance and inspection readiness, followed by a closed Q&A.
AI risk classification and board-level documentation
How do you classify AI systems within your risk framework? Which decisions must be formally documented before August 2026?
The changing role of assurance under the AI Act
What changes for Audit Partners when AI systems are structurally subject to supervision? Where are the boundaries of your assurance statement?
Operational compliance: from policy to evidence
The gap between compliance policy and daily enforcement. How do you implement controls that demonstrably function?
Inspection readiness and supervisory expectations
What burden of proof do supervisors expect during an inspection? How do you demonstrate that risk assessments are reproducible and current?
Closed Q&A
Opportunity to discuss organisation-specific governance questions under Chatham House Rule.
