What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the calendar and the return assembly: deadlines, owners and escalations run as rules, and each return is computed in code from one reconciled set of numbers, with a source-linked audit trail behind every filing.
Where AI helps
AI plays a narrow part here, helping draft a covering note or surface a likely gap against the prior filing; the figures, the return and the submission are deterministic, and a registered person signs every filing the regulator holds the firm to.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
