THE GOVERNANCE IMPERATIVE

AI in finance without governance creates auditability and fiduciary risk.

As AI is deployed in accounts payable, procurement, and financial reporting, regulators and auditors are asking whether every consequential AI decision can be explained, authorized, and audited. Flowtaris AI Governance is designed to support enterprise governance, auditability, access control and data-management requirements across your AI-driven finance operations.

HOW IT WORKS

From day one to fully operational.

1
CONTROL 01 — IMMUTABLE AUDIT TRAIL

Every AI decision. Every human override. Permanently logged.

Flowtaris maintains an append-only, cryptographically tamper-evident audit log for every AI-driven action: document extraction, approval decision, anomaly flag, workflow routing, and ERP post.

Each log entry contains the full input context, the AI model's output with confidence scores, the business rule applied, the human decision (if any), and the downstream ERP transaction reference. No record can be modified or deleted — by anyone.

  • Append-only log — no record modification or deletion
  • Cryptographic hash chain — tamper detection at record level
  • Full input/output capture per AI model invocation
  • Retention configurable: 7 years default for SOX environments

CONTROL 02 — MODEL EXPLAINABILITY

Not just "the AI decided this." Exactly why it decided this.

When Flowtaris auto-approves an invoice, rejects a vendor, or flags an anomaly, it generates a human-readable explanation of the decision — the specific factors, their weights, and the counterfactual (what would have changed the decision).

This is not a post-hoc rationalization. It's generated by the same model that made the decision, using Shapley value attribution to show which input features drove the outcome.

  • Shapley value attribution per AI decision
  • Counterfactual explanation: "what would change this outcome?"
  • Plain-English decision summaries for non-technical stakeholders
  • Bias detection: flags decisions that correlate with protected attributes

CONTROL 03 — COMPLIANCE REPORTING

Audit packs in hours. Compliance evidence in one click.

Flowtaris generates compliance evidence packages for SOX, GDPR, DORA, and EU AI Act requirements on demand. Your audit team specifies the scope (date range, process area, entity) and Flowtaris assembles the complete evidence pack — AI decision logs, control testing results, access logs, and model change history — in under 24 hours.

The same evidence supports both internal audit and external auditor requests.

  • On-demand audit pack generation in <24 hours
  • Pre-mapped to SOX COSO, GDPR Article 22, EU AI Act Annex IV
  • Model change history and approval records included
  • External auditor portal — share evidence packages securely

FAQ

The questions your board will ask. Answered.

What does "immutable audit trail" actually mean technically?
Every audit record generated by Flowtaris is written to an append-only log with a SHA-256 hash that incorporates the previous record's hash — forming a hash chain. Any modification to any historical record would break the chain, which is verified on every read. Records are stored in immutable cloud storage (AWS S3 Object Lock or Azure Blob Storage with Legal Hold) and cannot be modified or deleted by anyone — including Flowtaris engineers.
How does Flowtaris support our SOX compliance program specifically?
Flowtaris is mapped to the COSO Internal Control framework used by SOX compliance programs. For each AI-driven finance process, we maintain: (1) control documentation describing the AI's decision-making process, (2) testing evidence showing the control operated effectively, (3) exception reports showing all cases where the AI was overridden and why, and (4) access control evidence showing who can modify AI configurations. These are packaged for your external auditors in our SOX Evidence Pack.
Are we required to disclose to vendors that AI is processing their invoices?
Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction. In the EU under GDPR Article 22 and the EU AI Act, you may have disclosure and transparency obligations for automated decision-making systems. Flowtaris includes a Vendor Transparency Module that can generate and deliver required disclosures to vendors, maintain records of disclosures sent, and provide a vendor-facing portal where vendors can request information about how their data is processed.
How does the EU AI Act classify Flowtaris, and what documentation does it require?
AI systems used in financial services for credit decisions, fraud detection, or employment fall under "High Risk" classification under the EU AI Act. AP automation systems typically fall under "Limited Risk" or "Minimal Risk" depending on their decision authority. Flowtaris provides EU AI Act Annex IV Technical Documentation for all its models, including intended purpose, training data description, accuracy metrics, and human oversight mechanisms — ready for submission to your notified body.
What happens if an AI decision turns out to be wrong? What's the remediation path?
Flowtaris includes a Decision Remediation workflow for cases where an AI decision needs to be reversed. The workflow captures the reason for reversal, the corrected outcome, the human approver, and automatically generates a correcting ERP transaction. The reversal is linked to the original AI decision in the audit trail, creating a complete picture of what happened and why it was corrected — essential for your auditors and for improving the model.
Can Flowtaris detect bias in AI decisions — for example, if the model treats certain vendors differently?
Yes. Flowtaris includes a Fairness Monitoring module that continuously analyzes AI decisions across vendor attributes (size, geography, industry, payment history) to detect statistical disparities in outcomes. If the model approves invoices from one vendor category 15% faster than another with equivalent risk profiles, that disparity is flagged for human review. Fairness reports are generated monthly and included in the governance dashboard.
How do we manage access to AI model configurations and ensure segregation of duties?
Flowtaris implements Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for all AI configuration — model parameters, business rules, approval thresholds, and automation limits. Changes to any AI configuration require approval from a second authorized user (four-eyes principle), are logged in the audit trail, and include a mandatory business justification. Configuration history is retained indefinitely and included in audit evidence packages.
