Why technology can change this work

  • continuous automated controls detect deviations before manual review
  • AI automatically drafts analyses, finds correlations and explains standard deviations
  • documents, transactions and reports have structured digital formats
  • reconciliation, classification and standard calculations repeat
  • rules and anomalies can be checked by software

What protects the occupation

  • independent professional judgement and accountability for conclusions
  • 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
