Evidence collection and audit-ready documentation
Risk and Assurance
What is evidence collection and audit-ready documentation?
Collects, labels and preserves the evidence that a control operated, a decision was made, and a claim can be defended to an auditor or regulator.
Where the frameworks place it: EU AI Act Articles 11 and 12; ISO/IEC 42001 Clause 7.5.
The interview question it draws
What evidence would you have ready before an auditor asks about an AI system, and how do you produce it as a byproduct of the work?
A strong answer walks through the practice itself, with one real case, what you decided, and what the evidence showed afterwards.
