FAQs

Clarification Details

Is GUV-KIT legally binding or guaranteed compliant?

GUV-KIT provides policy templates designed to help demonstrate compliance with ICAEW ISQM 1 and related UK accounting standards. While the documentation is aligned to current regulatory requirements, ultimate compliance responsibility rests with your firm's board and designated partners. GUV-KIT does not constitute legal or compliance advice.

How long does implementation take?

Most firms complete customization and board approval within 2-4 weeks. Staff acknowledgment collection typically requires an additional 1-2 weeks depending on firm size. Professional tier subscribers implementing within 30 days qualify for the complimentary Gold Certificate.

What's included in quarterly updates (Professional tier)?

Quarterly updates include revised policy language reflecting regulatory developments, updated risk assessment guidance, new compliance template additions, and implementation notes addressing common questions from Professional tier subscribers. Updates are delivered via email with download access to revised documentation.

Can we customize the templates for our specific practice?

Yes. All templates are provided in editable format allowing customization of firm name, responsible partners, practice-specific procedures, and relevant dates. The core policy structure and compliance language should be preserved, but operational details can be tailored to your firm's requirements.

Do you offer implementation support or consulting?

Professional tier includes email support for implementation questions - you stay in control of how you use the templates; we provide guidance, not hands-on consulting.

What happens after the annual subscription expires?

You retain permanent access to documentation downloaded during your subscription period. However, you will not receive quarterly updates (Professional tier) or access to future kits in the FlowBox AI governance stack after expiration. Renewal at current pricing ensures continued access to updated documentation.

Is GUV-KIT suitable for firms outside the UK?

GUV-KIT is specifically designed for UK accountancy firms subject to ICAEW ISQM 1, ACCA standards, and UK GDPR requirements. Firms in other jurisdictions may find the templates useful as reference material but should verify alignment with local regulatory requirements before implementation.

ABOUT

About FlowBox

Oliver Crespin

Oliver Crespin

FlowBox Consulting

We exist so that managing partners can look QAD, PI insurers and key clients in the eye and say, "Yes – our AI governance is documented and under control."

If you've ever thought "I hope nobody asks about our AI policy… what will QAD say… will this hit our PI renewal?" – you're not alone. Your partners, your spouse, your kids, your oldest professional friends: these are the people whose opinion matters most if an AI incident exposes weak governance. FlowBox gives you the small stack of board-ready documents – AI policy, risk matrix, staff acknowledgements, board resolution – so you have something real to point to when someone finally asks.

FlowBox is a self-service documentation kit company, not a consulting firm. No discovery calls, no roadmaps-for-hire, no implementation projects. You download editable templates, customise in 2-3 hours, get board approval in 2-4 weeks, and collect staff acknowledgements in another 1-2 weeks. Email support is included for Professional tier subscribers.

GUV-KIT is the first kit in the FlowBox AI governance stack. Additional kits are coming: COMP-KIT, VEND-CHECK, TRUST-PACK, AUDIT-GUARD and MONITOR-BOX. First things first: AI Policy First.
