Standards and guidance
MAS AI Risk Management: Agent Review Context
MAS issued final AI Risk Management Guidelines on 7 October 2026 for financial institutions. This replaces the earlier consultation status used in our draft.
How to use this reference
Review the final guidance with the institution’s risk and compliance owners. Confirm applicability, implementation expectations and the version relied on before using agent evidence in a supervisory process.
Evidence to discuss
Identify the system scope, control owner, implementation evidence, test results, exceptions and the reviewer responsible for acceptance. Requirements are mapped to the agreed source version; missing and untested controls remain visible.

Financial-institution review discussion
These are engineering discussion prompts, not a substitute for the source requirements or the appointed reviewer's criteria.
- Which AI uses and consequential actions are within the institution's review scope?
- How are accountability, supplier dependencies and agent changes recorded?
- What technical evidence can the risk function inspect alongside its governance process?
Use the security review checklist to organise owners, test records and gaps. The assessment method explains how coverage limits are recorded.
