3:25 pm - 3:45 pm SIX PRACTICAL AI AGENTS FOR AUTONOMOUS ORDER-TO-CASH: USE CASES AND PILOT TO DEPLOYMENT GUIDELINES

AI agents are redefining the future of finance operations—moving Shared Services from process execution to autonomous decision engines. In this session, we will examine real-world, practical applications of AI agents across Order-to-Cash and demonstrate how leading organizations are achieving game-changing improvements in cash flow, productivity, and customer experience. More importantly, we will outline a proven approach to move from pilot projects to enterprise-wide deployment—covering architecture, orchestration, governance, and change management. This session is designed for GBS and finance leaders ready to move beyond automation and lead the shift to autonomous finance.



3:50 pm - 4:10 pm HUMAN-IN-THE-LOOP: AI FOR CONNECTED RECORD-TO-REPORT

AI has the potential to transform Record-to-Report, but only when it is applied to real finance problems and designed to work alongside people. In this session, explore practical AI use cases already being applied across R2R, from intelligent journal recommendations to automated validations and exception handling. Learn how human-in-the-loop AI connects fragmented processes, strengthens control and helps finance teams move faster without compromising compliance.

This session will show how AI can be used in practice to:
• Recommend and validate journal entries based on patterns, rules and historical data
• Detect anomalies, exceptions and risks across journals, intercompany and close activities
• Enforce standardisation and policy compliance through AI-driven validation and controls
