## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Financial Services Regulation (AFSL/ASIC/credit)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/financial-services-regulation.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | Extract each authorisation from the licence as issued and each activity from the lawyer's activity list, and draft a coverage matrix keyed to the exact authorisation wording, marking activities with no matching authorisation and authorisations no longer relied on. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer characterises each activity as a financial service, financial product or credit activity, confirms the authorisation wording against the licence as issued, checks any relief or exemption relied on, and decides whether a variation is needed. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: Extract each authorisation from the licence as issued and each activity from the lawyer's activity list, and draft a coverage matrix keyed to the exact authorisation wording, marking activities with no matching authorisation and authorisations no longer relied on.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer characterises each activity as a financial service, financial product or credit activity, confirms the authorisation wording against the licence as issued, checks any relief or exemption relied on, and decides whether a variation is needed.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. The lawyer characterises each activity as a financial service, financial product or credit activity, confirms the authorisation wording against the licence as issued, checks any relief or exemption relied on, and decides whether a variation is needed.
3. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
