Join us for FAE’s Briefing Room: Technology Edition - Emerging AI Applications in Accounting Audits on August 26 for a 75-minute session focused exclusively on the AI Applications in Audits.
Artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape the audit profession, creating new opportunities to analyze data, identify risks, automate routine procedures, and enhance decision-making. As firms explore AI-enabled tools, accounting and audit professionals are evaluating how these technologies can support more efficient and insightful assurance services.
This FAE Briefing Room brings together audit, technology, and innovation leaders to discuss how AI is being applied across the audit lifecycle today. Through practical examples and real-world use cases, panelists will explore emerging applications in areas such as data analytics, risk assessment, document review, anomaly detection, workflow automation, and continuous auditing.
Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how firms are experimenting with and adopting AI-enabled tools, where these technologies are delivering value, and how the role of the auditor may continue to evolve as AI capabilities mature.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
· Identify emerging AI applications being used in accounting and audit engagements.
· Recognize opportunities for AI to enhance data analysis, risk assessment, and audit efficiency.
· Evaluate practical use cases and lessons learned from early AI adoption efforts.
