AI is transforming financial close, but can external auditors really accept AI-validated entries?
If you are unsure of how AI can be applied in the auditing process and want to understand how to use it without adding risk to your organisation, this webinar is for you.
Why Watch This Webinar?
In this webinar, we’ll explore how finance teams can harness AI for journal validation, reconciliations, and anomaly detection — while still meeting compliance requirements. You'll learn how to design audit-ready AI processes, ensure transparency with human oversight, and maintain a full audit trail that stands up to scrutiny. Instead of generic hype, this webinar will feature real-world examples highlighting how organisations are building auditor confidence in their AI-enabled close.
In short, attendees to this webinar will learn:
- What audit firms such as KPMG look for when assessing AI-driven processes in financial close - and why trust, transparency, and evidence matter more than algorithms.
- How finance teams can adopt AI in reconciliations, journals, and close tasks without creating audit risk by keeping the human in the loop.
Practical steps to prepare your organisation for the audit of tomorrow - including documentation, validation, and controls that make auditors comfortable with AI. - A practical “human-in-the-loop” model where AI accelerates the process while people retain accountability.
