NIST AI RMF
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology's AI Risk Management Framework (version 1.0, 2023), a voluntary framework whose Manage function covers acting on and monitoring deployed AI risks; an audit trail is the raw material of that monitoring.
Defined in 3 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Governance Professional (CAIGP).

Where it shows up at work
A definition is where NIST AI RMF starts. The lessons above teach it inside the competencies below, which are what job descriptions ask for and what the GAGE credential records. Every link here is drawn from the same careers map that builds a role's readiness check.
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.

How job descriptions say it
Postings rarely use the textbook word. These are the phrases the careers map reads as asking for the competencies above.
Where the frameworks place it: EU AI Act Articles 11 and 12; ISO/IEC 42001 Clause 7.5; Regulation (EU) 2024/1689; Regulation (EU) 2026/1744.
One interview question about it
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?
Asked of candidates for evidence collection and audit-ready documentation. Answering it in your own words is exactly how a GAGE topic is passed, and the credential records the pass where an employer can check it.
If you come from another field
Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- Compliance and regulatory affairs carries it as work you can show: Audit-ready documentation is what you produce.
- Internal audit and IT audit carries it as work you can show: Evidence evaluation is the profession.
- Project and program management carries it as a claim to back up: Decision logs and repositories are familiar.
