What’s inside

One guide plus five practical resources

The publication is designed around working decisions, not a generic reminder to “be careful with AI”.

01

Professional AI Guide

Decision support, supplier questions, verification and implementation.

02

Acceptable-Use Policy

A practical starting document for setting working expectations and boundaries.

03

Tool & Use-Case Register

A structured record for approved tools, purposes, safeguards, owners and review dates.

04

Incident Response Record

Prompts for preserving evidence, containing a concern and documenting decisions.

05

Client & Business Wording Pack

Useful language for explaining AI-assisted work without overstating capability.

06

Staff Quick Check

A concise check to use before sharing information or relying on AI output.

Who it is for

Built for people responsible for real work and real information.

01

Accountants and bookkeepers

For professional work where confidentiality, verification and accountability cannot be delegated to a tool.

02

Small businesses

For owners and teams that need straightforward boundaries before AI becomes an informal working habit.

03

Practical implementation

For readers who want reusable checks and records, not a technical manual or a promise of automatic compliance.
