Finding on 'Q022 Probe' for Claude Opus 4.7 with web search ON

  • Question (paraphrased to protect IP): PFMI Principle 2 KC 6, non-executive risk-committee chair mandate fabricated
  • AI's response: "KC 2.6 contemplates that the board establish a risk committee that is chaired by a suitably qualified, non-executive member"
  • Regulator's text: KC 6: The board should establish a clear, documented risk-management framework... Governance arrangements should ensure that the risk-management and internal control functions have sufficient authority, independence, resources, and access to the board.
  • Why the AI went wrong: On PFMI Principle 2's Key Consideration 6, Claude Opus 4.7 with web search asserted that the board should establish "a risk committee that is chaired by a suitably qualified, non-executive member," and accompanied this with an inverted KC ordering and a misattribution of KC 5's management-roles content to internal-control requirements. The fabricated non-executive-chair mandate is the kind of high-confidence structured hallucination that an FMI board secretary or governance lead drafting a committee charter would absorb directly into the document, because the surface form looks like a PFMI self-assessment response. The error reflects a training-weighted prior on corporate-governance committee structure (drawn from listing rules, banking-supervision codes, and conventional governance frameworks) substituted for the PFMI's framework-level KC 6 text, which speaks only to the documented risk-management framework and the independence of control functions. Verbatim paragraph probes across the Principle 2 KCs, with structured comparison against generic corporate-governance language, would directly target this class of error.

On PFMI Principle 2's Key Consideration 6, Claude Opus 4.7 with web search asserted that the board should establish "a risk committee that is chaired by a suitably qualified, non-executive member," and accompanied this with an inverted KC ordering and a misattribution of KC 5's management-roles content to internal-control requirements. The fabricated non-executive-chair mandate is the kind of high-confidence structured hallucination that an FMI board secretary or governance lead drafting a committee charter would absorb directly into the document, because the surface form looks like a PFMI self-assessment response.

The error reflects a training-weighted prior on corporate-governance committee structure (drawn from listing rules, banking-supervision codes, and conventional governance frameworks) substituted for the PFMI's framework-level KC 6 text, which speaks only to the documented risk-management framework and the independence of control functions.
