The situation:
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations face growing complexities in managing financial data, regulatory compliance, and risk detection � also when it comes to their audit. At the same time, AI is transforming the audit process. Thanks to data analysis and an enhanced risk assessment: many business benefits are already emerging in the areas of insight generation, trend and anomaly detection, risk control and data-enabled decision making.
What’s more, 72 percent of companies surveyed are already piloting or using AI in financial reporting and is set to reach 99 percent in three years according to our recent report AI in financial reporting and audit: Navigating the new era , highlighting organizations willingness and readiness to innovate on their reporting and auditing.
