AI Usage & Governance
Last updated: 02 May 2026
Introduction
Chase Risk & Compliance (CRC) may utilise AI-assisted tooling in limited operational workflows to support activities such as document drafting, research assistance, summarisation support, workflow efficiency, and internal productivity.
CRC recognises that payroll and workforce information can contain sensitive data and takes a cautious and governance-aware approach to the use of AI-assisted technologies within operational processes.
AI-assisted tooling is intended to support human-led analysis and operational efficiency and is not relied upon autonomously for payroll, governance, or compliance conclusions.
CRC’s Approach to AI-Assisted Workflows
CRC uses AI-assisted technologies selectively and in controlled contexts where they may support operational efficiency, drafting assistance, or internal workflow improvement.
CRC aims to apply practical governance principles when incorporating AI-assisted tooling into operational activities, including maintaining human oversight, minimising unnecessary exposure of sensitive information, and exercising caution when handling payroll or workforce-related data.
The use of AI-assisted workflows does not replace professional judgement, governance review, or human interpretation.
Human Oversight & Review
CRC maintains a human-reviewed approach to all client-facing outputs, findings, and deliverables.
Where AI-assisted tooling contributes to operational workflows, outputs are reviewed and assessed prior to use. CRC does not permit AI systems to independently make payroll, governance, compliance, or risk decisions on behalf of clients.
Final interpretation, analysis, and engagement outcomes remain subject to human judgement and review.
Sensitive Information Handling
CRC takes a cautious approach to the handling of sensitive information within AI-assisted workflows.
Where practical, CRC seeks to minimise unnecessary exposure of personally identifiable information, payroll records, or sensitive workforce data when using AI-assisted tools. Sensitive datasets are intended to remain within controlled operational environments wherever reasonably practical.
CRC recognises the importance of maintaining confidentiality and exercising restraint when interacting with evolving AI technologies.
Data Minimisation & Anonymisation
CRC aims to apply data minimisation principles wherever practical when working with AI-assisted tools.
Depending on the nature of the workflow, this may include reducing unnecessary identifiers, removing personal information, aggregating information, or using anonymised or synthetic examples where appropriate.
CRC encourages limiting exposure of sensitive information to only what is reasonably necessary to support the intended operational task.
Public AI Tool Restrictions
CRC takes a conservative approach to the use of public or consumer AI platforms involving sensitive client information.
Where practical, sensitive payroll or workforce-related information is minimised, anonymised, excluded, or otherwise controlled prior to use within AI-assisted environments. CRC aims to avoid unnecessary exposure of raw client datasets within public AI systems wherever reasonably possible.
CRC continues to review evolving practices relating to AI governance, privacy, and operational security as technologies mature.
Operational Governance
CRC views AI-assisted tooling as part of a broader operational governance framework rather than a replacement for disciplined handling practices.
AI-assisted workflows are intended to support operational efficiency while remaining aligned to CRC’s broader principles around confidentiality, controlled handling, transparency, and governance-aware service delivery.
CRC aims to continuously improve operational maturity and governance practices as the business evolves.
Evolving AI Practices
AI technologies, governance expectations, and regulatory approaches continue to evolve rapidly.
CRC expects that operational practices, tooling approaches, and governance controls relating to AI-assisted workflows may continue to develop over time in response to changing technologies, client expectations, security considerations, and emerging guidance.
CRC intends to review and refine operational practices progressively as part of its broader governance maturity approach.
Questions About AI Usage
CRC understands that organisations may have questions regarding the use of AI-assisted technologies within operational workflows, particularly where payroll or workforce-related information is involved.
