The Touchless Close: Accelerating R2R Through AI and Automation
The financial close process is under immense pressure, from tighter reporting timelines and increased regulatory scrutiny to staff shortages and legacy systems that struggle to scale. But what if you could remove the manual burden altogether? In this webinar, we will introduce 'The Touchless Close,' a powerful approach to Record-to-Report (R2R) that leverages AI and automation to deliver speed, accuracy, and control. You’ll learn how leading finance teams are streamlining journal validation, accelerating reconciliations, and removing the guesswork from financial reporting using Aico’s intelligent automation platform. Our experts will demonstrate how AI can:
- Validate supporting evidence for journals in real time
- Analyse ERP outputs to confirm account status and identify risks
- Monitor close progress and ensure compliance using configurable workflows
Join us to explore how a touchless, AI-powered financial close is not just possible, it’s already here.
