No, there is no such thing. You could use the TCB (Trusted Computing Base) for this, but it would mean reinstall the machine from scratch and then have serious restrictions in the ways you could update the OS.
Personally, i would not advocate using the TCB.
You can, of course, intercept the chown- and/or the chmod-command by renaming it and replace it with some script or executable of yours. This script could write into a logfile and then execute the renamed original executable.
Still, this is also a very problematic solution and it will probably pose as many problems as it solves. Do this only as a last effort if no other solution is possible or if you have very very specific requirements.
I hope this helps.

Sys::Filesystem::Aix(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Sys::Filesystem::Aix(3pm)
NAME
Sys::Filesystem::Aix - Return AIX filesystem information to Sys::Filesystem
SYNOPSIS
See Sys::Filesystem.
INHERITANCE
Sys::Filesystem::Aix
ISA UNIVERSAL
METHODS
version ()
Return the version of the (sub)module.
ATTRIBUTES
The following is a list of filesystem properties which may be queried as methods through the parent Sys::Filesystem object.
account
Used by the dodisk command to determine the filesystems to be processed by the accounting system.
boot
Used by the mkfs command to initialize the boot block of a new filesystem.
check
Used by the fsck command to determine the default filesystems to be checked.
dev Identifies, for local mounts, either the block special file where the filesystem resides or the file or directory to be mounted.
free
This value can be either true or false. (Obsolete and ignored).
mount
Used by the mount command to determine whether this file system should be mounted by default.
nodename
Used by the mount command to determine which node contains the remote filesystem.
size
Used by the mkfs command for reference and to build the file system.
type
Used to group related mounts.
vfs Specifies the type of mount. For example, vfs=nfs specifies the virtual filesystem being mounted is an NFS filesystem.
vol Used by the mkfs command when initializing the label on a new filesystem. The value is a volume or pack label using a maximum of 6
characters.
log The LVName must be the full path name of the filesystem logging logical volume name to which log data is written as this file system is
modified. This is only valid for journaled filesystems.

* mount, free, log, vol and vfs entries for the appropriate stanza.
