Artificial intelligence is showing up everywhere, from "autonomous" general ledgers to AI-powered fraud detection and tax research agents. But for many leaders, these tools are either misunderstood or overhyped. Staff are concerned about being replaced. Managers are concerned about the use of AI causing chaos. This seminar gives CFOs, controllers, and tax professionals a grounded look at how AI is impacting real-world accounting departments. We'll explore how these tools work, what they can (and can't) do, and what finance leaders should be doing now to prepare their teams and processes for the changes that will happen.
