Confidential AI Governance Scorecard

Irish Wealth Management Firms

Irish wealth management firms face unique AI governance challenges. With fast approaching regulatory deadlines under the EU AI Act and heightened Central Bank of Ireland expectations for individual accountability under IAF and SEAR, demonstrating robust governance over AI driven platforms is a critical priority.

This interactive scorecard provides a confidential, high level assessment of your firm's position. Answer the 25 questions below to generate your preliminary score.

Why this matters now (February 2026)

The Central Bank of Ireland has the power to take direct enforcement action against individuals (PCFs) under the Individual Accountability Framework if they cannot prove they took reasonable steps to manage AI governance risks. This shifts accountability from firm level to personal level liability. Additionally, the AI Office (EU level) is now actively monitoring compliance for General Purpose AI (GPAI) models.
