New paper: what a working audit of automated decisions requires
Our policy paper on audit obligations is published, with model provisions a regulator can draft from directly.
We have published our policy paper on the audit of automated decisions. It argues that most audit obligations now in force can be satisfied without anyone examining whether a system produces defensible decisions, and sets out what an audit would have to contain to be worth requiring.
Sections 4 and 5 are written as model provisions with drafting notes, so a regulator or ministry can adapt them directly. The accompanying toolkit is available in our resources library.
We would rather the paper were criticised than agreed with. If the model provisions would fail in your jurisdiction, that is the most useful thing you can tell us.
