Why technology can change this work

  • AI automatically drafts analyses, finds correlations and explains standard deviations
  • documents, transactions and reports have structured digital formats
  • a large share of textual, analytical or information tasks is accessible to current AI models
  • a significant share of operations repeats along a stable workflow
  • the main inputs and outputs already exist in a digital environment
  • reconciliation, classification and standard calculations repeat

What protects the occupation

  • choosing the right question and checking causality rather than correlation alone
  • accountability for financial decisions
  • non-standard transactions and regulatory change
  • negotiation with management, auditors and regulators
