An AI Guide for Accounting Firms: Efficiency, Compliance and Ethics

How to incorporate Gen AI into your practice responsibly

Synopsis

Generative AI (Gen AI) is reshaping audit and accounting. By automating routine tasks like summarizing lengthy documents, providing context-aware responses to accounting-specific questions and extracting key information from files, firms can free up their staff to focus on higher-value activities.

However, leveraging AI effectively requires a balance between innovation and oversight. Firms must prioritize security, compliance and ethical considerations, ensuring Gen AI tools align with industry standards and protect sensitive client data. Purpose-built AI solutions, designed specifically for audit and accounting, deliver the most value, enhancing decision-making while respecting the critical role of human judgment.

With 64% of companies already considering AI usage in their auditor selection process, the profession is rapidly evolving. Gen AI can elevate audit teams, refine engagement planning and even assist in financial forecasting. But human expertise remains essential. AI is a powerful assistant, not a replacement.

This guide explores how firms can integrate AI responsibly, maximize its benefits and prepare for a future where technology and professional insight work together to improve audit efficiency and quality.
