The only ASIC HITL-compliant content platform for financial professionals.
When ASIC asks how your AI-generated content is governed — and they will ask — you need an answer. FinanceLocal is that answer.
ASIC is auditing operating models, not just outputs.
ASIC’s 2026 Information Integrity outlook flagged agentic AI as a systemic risk. The regulator is auditing operating models, not just outputs.
The CBA document fraud scandal intensified scrutiny on the entire broker channel — ASIC’s expectation is that licensees can demonstrate the governance behind what reaches consumers, not just the consumer-facing artefact.
The gap between “using AI” and “governing AI” is where ASIC’s attention is focused.

The four things ASIC has signalled — repeatedly.
This isn't speculation. It's the direction ASIC has set out across its 2024 AI guidance, the 2026 outlook, and channel-specific notices to MFAA and FBAA members.
Human oversight.
A licensed professional reviews AI-generated content before it reaches consumers. Not a delegated team member. Not an automated rule set.
Clear accountability.
A named licensed professional must approve outputs. The line of responsibility cannot end at an algorithm or a vendor.
Audit trails.
The licensee must be able to demonstrate what was generated, what was reviewed, what was changed, and what was published — for any post, any time.
Governance framework.
A documented process, not ad-hoc usage. ASIC's expectation is operating-model evidence, not screenshots after the fact.
How FinanceLocal delivers this.
HITL isn't a setting we toggle. It's how the platform is built.
- Every piece of AI-generated content passes through explicit human approval.
- The approver is the licensed broker — not an admin, not an algorithm.
- Every approval is timestamped, logged, and exportable.
- Rejection reasons are tracked, improving content quality over time.
- The compliance dashboard shows a complete audit trail per post.
- Export-ready reports for ASIC reviews or aggregator audits.

The Frankenstein stack — and why it's the risk.
Most brokers using AI have stitched together point solutions with no compliance layer connecting them. That's the gap ASIC is auditing.
Copy-paste from ChatGPT to Canva.
No audit trail. No approval process. No governance documentation. If a post contains misleading information, there is no record of who reviewed it.
Separate scheduling tools.
Buffer or Hootsuite scheduling AI-generated posts written elsewhere. The publishing record exists but the generation and review steps don’t.
Design tools handling content production.
Canva, Adobe Express, Figma. Visual output without the source of truth or sign-off chain that ASIC expects.
No layer that connects them.
Three or four tools, each correct in isolation, none of them aware of the others. FinanceLocal replaces the entire stack with a single governed pipeline.
The architecture for the regulations that are coming.
The signal
ASIC hasn't finalised agentic AI regulations yet — but the direction is clear from the 2024 AI guidance, the 2026 outlook, and aggregator-channel notices.
The early-mover position
Brokers who build governance now will be ahead when rules land. Brokers who scramble later will pay more — in time, cost, and reputation risk.
Where we built it
FinanceLocal's HITL architecture is designed for where regulation is heading, not where it was. The compliance posture is the platform, not a bolt-on.
Specific questions, specific answers.
The compliance and regulatory questions brokers, aggregators, and licensees have asked us most.
