26 February, 2026
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST


As shared services and GBS organizations take on broader mandates and higher transaction volumes, the need for scalable, intelligent, and standardized financial operations has never been greater. Traditional automation alone can’t keep pace with today’s complexity- AI is now the game-changer.

This session explores how AI-powered financial integrity is redefining modern GBS models, enabling teams to streamline global spend management, eliminate manual exceptions, and elevate service delivery.

What you’ll learn:

  • Automate at Scale: How AI handles complex, high-volume AP and spend processes across regions, reducing manual intervention and ensuring consistency.
  • Detect Risks Early: Use predictive intelligence to identify fraud and compliance issues before they escalate, strengthening governance and audit readiness.
  • Free Up Your Team: Reduce supplier inquiries and eliminate repetitive tasks so staff can focus on higher-value work.
  • Make Smarter Decisions: Improve data quality and leverage real-time intelligence for faster, more informed decision-making.
  • Transform GBS into a Strategic Engine: Build an agile, innovative, and cost-efficient finance organization that drives enterprise-wide value.

Join us to discover how advanced AI solutions can help GBS and shared services teams deliver consistency, control, and strategic value at enterprise scale.
