AI governance: EU AI Act readiness, Annex IV, audit-ready

The EU AI Act is not a future problem for regulated operators - the obligations for high-risk and general-purpose AI systems land on a rolling schedule, and the paperwork regulators will ask for is already defined. Annex IV documentation, risk management, data governance, human oversight, post-market monitoring: none of it is optional once the AI in your stack touches a decision that moves money.

What audit-ready actually means

• Annex IV technical documentation for every model or agent in scope, kept current.
• Risk management and data governance records that survive a supervisor's read.
• Logs of decisions, prompts and tool calls - not screenshots after the fact.
• Human-in-the-loop controls with a clear, testable escalation path.

Agentic payments make this concrete. When an AI can quote, route or initiate a payment, the same governance that applies to a scoring model applies to the agent - plus the consent, KYC and write-gating that keeps a read-only assistant from becoming an unsupervised trader.
