The Accountability Gap: Aligning ownership, risk, and results in AI-driven finance
April 16 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
About this Event:
As AI reshapes financial forecasting, close, controls, and integrated sustainability reporting, it’s increasingly important for finance and IT to work closely together.
In reality, CFOs and CIOs are currently accountable for different outcomes.
According to IDC, CFOs remain accountable for economic integrity, regulatory defensibility, and institutional trust, while CIOs are responsible for scalable, secure, and resilient technology enablement: which means that outcome accountability and platform responsibility can be misaligned.
To adopt a responsible approach to AI that accelerates team performance, it’s critical to establish joint ownership between the offices of the CFO and CIO.
On this webinar, Heather Herbst, Research Director, CFO Buyer Insights at IDC, Chelsea Hall, Industry Principal for Financial Reporting at Workiva, and Johna Morris, Product Marketing Director at Workiva, will explore the growing accountability gap in AI-driven finance and how leading companies are closing it.
After this webinar, you will be able to:
- Identify common breakdown points in ownership and accountability within AI-enabled finance processes
- Assess how to embed assurance, controls, and governance requirements into system design prior to scaling AI-enabled capabilities
- Apply a framework for aligning ownership, risk, and results in AI-driven finance initiatives
Workiva offers one complimentary CPE credit for this webinar.
