AI Info

AI is overwhelming.

Here are the things you should be considering as a Finance or Accounting Leader in AI.

01

Data Safety and Security

Your clients trust you with their most sensitive information. Before adopting any AI tool, you need to understand where data goes, who can access it, and how it's protected.

  • Where does your data go when you use an AI tool?
  • Is client data being used to train models?
  • What are the encryption and access controls?
  • How do you evaluate a vendor's data handling practices?
02

Performance Risk

AI tools can be impressively capable — and impressively wrong. Understanding where AI performs well and where it falls short is critical before putting it into production workflows.

  • How do you identify and manage hallucinations?
  • What tasks are high-risk vs. low-risk for AI?
  • How do you measure whether AI output is reliable?
  • What happens when an AI tool fails silently?
03

Effective Controls

AI doesn't replace professional judgment — it requires it. The right controls ensure that AI is a tool in your process, not a black box making decisions on your behalf.

  • What review and approval steps should be in place?
  • How do you build human-in-the-loop workflows?
  • What documentation do you need for AI-assisted work?
  • How do you audit AI outputs?
04

Strategic Advancement

AI isn't just about efficiency — it's about positioning your firm for the future. The leaders who move thoughtfully now will have a significant advantage.

  • Where should you start with AI in your practice?
  • How do you build an AI roadmap that fits your firm?
  • What does competitive advantage look like with AI?
  • How do you measure ROI on AI investments?
05

Supporting Your Team Through Change

Technology adoption is a people challenge as much as a technical one. Your team needs clarity, confidence, and support to embrace AI effectively.

  • How do you address fear and resistance around AI?
  • What training does your team actually need?
  • How do you create a culture of experimentation?
  • How do you communicate the "why" behind AI adoption?
06

AI Governance

As AI becomes embedded in your workflows, you need clear policies that define how it's used, by whom, and under what conditions — before problems arise.

  • What should an AI use policy cover?
  • Who is accountable for AI-driven decisions?
  • How do you stay compliant with evolving regulations?
  • What ethical considerations should guide your AI use?
