Financial Controls

Financial controls are the internal procedures and mechanisms organizations implement to safeguard assets, ensure accurate financial reporting, and prevent fraud or misuse of funds. In the context of AI governance, financial controls become critical as enterprises must track spending on AI infrastructure, model development, and third-party AI services while managing the risks of unexpected costs from model training or unmonitored API usage. Proper financial controls also support compliance with audit requirements and regulatory expectations around how AI investments are justified and managed.

Compliance programs built on voice-as-authentication assumptions face an immediate control gap.
