SUMMARY:From Manual to Strategic: How AI Is Transforming Finance and Accounting Operations
DESCRIPTION:The challenge in AP is not a lack of automation opportunities. It is the lack of a framework for deciding which ones actually improve control. Even now\, 73% of teams are still not fully automated\, and only 49% feel confident their current systems meet audit and data-retention standards. Without a framework\, teams often default to one-off automation that addresses isolated AP tasks while leaving reconciliation issues\, documentation gaps\, and downstream rework in place.  \n\n\n\nThis session will dive into a two-part framework for evaluating agentic AI in AP: where AI can accelerate the close cycle by eliminating the manual reconciliation bottlenecks\, and where it enables net-new control capabilities. Attendees will leave with a practical way to evaluate AI based on two outcomes that matter most.  \n\n\n\n**CPE Eligible** Field of Study: Finance Level: Basic Prerequisite: None Advance Preparation: None required Delivery Method: Group Internet-Based Recommended CPE Credit(s): 1 \n\n\n\nEvent Inquiries: For inquiries as well as complaints concerning this webinar\, you are welcome to send an e-mail message to neil@controllerscouncil.org \n\n\n\nPlease note that only those who attend the live webinar will have the opportunity to earn continuing professional education (CPE) credit in connection with this webinar.
