🧠 AI GOVERNANCE & ETHICAL AI COMPLIANCE SUITE – PREMIUM EXCEL TOOLKIT
AI System Inventory | EU AI Act Readiness | Risk & Ethics | Controls | Evidence | Executive Reporting
Bring structure to AI governance activities with a professional, editable Excel system designed for organizations, consultants, compliance teams, AI product owners, IT security and internal audit professionals.
This toolkit brings AI system records, responsibilities, impact reviews, risk scoring, control monitoring, employee training, incidents, evidence and readiness actions into one well-organized workflow. All sample records are illustrative, and every internal assessment must be reviewed by the user.
📊 EXECUTIVE DASHBOARD
Eight formula-driven KPI cards summarize total AI systems, high residual-risk systems, implemented controls, evidence readiness, EU AI Act readiness, average residual risk, training completion and open incidents.
Four native Excel charts visualize residual risk distribution, control implementation, top residual exposures and readiness areas needing attention. The supporting chart series are formula-linked to the operational registers rather than fixed demonstration figures.
🧩 MAIN WORKBOOK – 13 SHEETS
START – Guided three-step workflow and module navigation.
DASHBOARD – Eight KPI cards and four native Excel charts.
AI System Inventory – AI system IDs, owners, departments, build and model types, purposes, data categories, deployment status and review dates.

Audit & Evidence – Audit items, evidence status, findings, review ownership and supporting records.
EU AI Act Readiness – Requirements-oriented preparation areas, responsibilities, evidence links, target dates and readiness signals.
Lists – Editable dropdown reference lists and a clearly identified reporting date.
Dashboard_Data – Hidden chart calculations supporting the four dashboard visuals.
The operating registers support rows 5–300, with 15 realistic 2029 example records and additional prepared entry rows. Relevant calculations and validation fields extend across these prepared areas.
🗓️ REPORTING DATE & FORMULA LOGIC
Set the reporting date in Lists!AO2 before operational use. The file contains a 2029 demonstration date that must be replaced with your own review date. Overdue risk actions, training health, readiness deadlines and open incident aging use this setting.
The dashboard recalculates from entered records in Microsoft Excel. Chart sources are maintained on a hidden calculation sheet; the charts themselves are located on the Executive Dashboard.

A standalone one-sheet Excel companion for preliminary AI governance reviews. It includes 20 checklist items, owners, due dates, evidence links, status and priority dropdowns, and formula-based completion, open-item and overdue indicators.
The bonus file is independent: it does not automatically transfer records into the main tracker.
