19 | 23 | ## 9.1 — Monitoring, Measurement, Analysis and Evaluation |
20 | 24 |
|
21 | | -### What it requires |
22 | | -Determine what to monitor and measure, how to do it, when to analyse results, and who is responsible. Then actually do it and keep records. |
23 | | - |
24 | | -### AI Performance Metrics Framework |
25 | | - |
26 | | -**Technical Performance Metrics (per AI System)** |
27 | | - |
28 | | -| Metric | Description | Target | Frequency | |
29 | | -|--------|-------------|--------|-----------| |

48 | | - |
49 | | -### Monitoring Process |
50 | | -1. Define metrics and targets (link to Clause 6.2 AI Objectives) |
51 | | -2. Assign monitoring owners for each metric |
52 | | -3. Collect data (automated dashboards, manual reports, audit results) |
53 | | -4. Analyse results — trends, anomalies, root causes |
54 | | -5. Evaluate against targets — is performance acceptable? |
55 | | -6. Report to management at defined intervals |
56 | | -7. Take corrective action when targets are not met (feeds into Clause 10) |
57 | | - |
58 | | -### Documents Required |
59 | | -- AI Performance Monitoring Plan (what, how, when, who) |
60 | | -- AI Performance Dashboard / Report (actual measurement results) |
61 | | -- AIMS Metrics and KPIs Register |
62 | | - |
63 | | ---- |
| 25 | +Determine what to monitor and measure, the methods used, when performed, and when results are analysed. See AI-PERFORMANCE-MONITORING-PLAN.md. |
64 | 26 |
|
65 | 27 | ## 9.2 — Internal Audit |
66 | 28 |
|
67 | | -### What it requires |
68 | | -Conduct internal audits at planned intervals to determine whether the AIMS: |
69 | | -- Conforms to the organisation's own requirements for AIMS |
70 | | -- Conforms to ISO 42001 requirements |
71 | | -- Is effectively implemented and maintained |
72 | | - |
73 | | -### Audit Programme |
74 | | -The audit programme must cover: |
75 | | -- The scope of each audit |
76 | | -- Frequency (typically annual for full AIMS; more frequent for high-risk areas) |
77 | | -- Methods (interviews, document review, process observation, system testing) |
78 | | -- Responsibilities (who conducts, who reviews, who receives report) |
79 | | -- Reporting requirements |

95 | | -### Auditor Independence |
96 | | -Auditors must be independent of the areas they audit — they cannot audit their own work. |
97 | | - |
98 | | -### Audit Process |
99 | | -1. Plan: Define scope, criteria, methods, schedule |
100 | | -2. Notify: Inform auditees in advance |
101 | | -3. Gather Evidence: Review documents, conduct interviews, observe processes |
102 | | -4. Evaluate: Compare evidence against requirements |
103 | | -5. Report: Issue findings — conformances, nonconformances, observations |
104 | | -6. Follow Up: Verify corrective actions are implemented |
105 | | - |

188 | | -## What Auditors Check in Clause 9 |
189 | | -- Are there defined metrics with targets — not just data collection? |
190 | | -- Is monitoring actually happening — are there records of measurements? |
191 | | -- Is the audit programme documented and followed? |
192 | | -- Are auditors independent of the areas they audit? |
193 | | -- Are audit reports issued with findings and corrective actions? |
194 | | -- Are management reviews held at defined intervals — with records? |
195 | | -- Do management review records show real decisions and actions? |
196 | | -- Is there evidence that management review inputs were actually reviewed? |
