Most finance AI tools operate like a “black box”; you send data in and get answers out, with little visibility or control. Whilst this method undoubtedly generates answers quickly, it leaves organizations vulnerable to reputational, compliance, and operational risks if any mistakes are made. As policies and regulations around AI mature, the spotlight is being shone even more brightly on how organizations are utilizing it, meaning if you haven’t already got a plan in place to ensure the AI auditability, you'd better get started!

In this webinar, our expert speakers will discuss a different approach to AI Agents, where customers define exactly which data elements are shared (headers, rows, attachments, comments) and the instructions the AI should follow. This ensures full transparency, compliance with company policies, and outputs tailored to each organisation’s specific needs.

In short, attendees will learn:

  • Why traditional “black box” AI creates risk in finance processes and how to avoid it.
  • How configurable AI lets you decide exactly what data is shared and what rules the AI follows.
  • How transparency, auditability, and compliance are built into every step of the process.
  • A roadmap for adopting AI that adapts to your process rather than forcing you to adapt to it.

If you want to understand how AI can be safely applied without adding risk and with full control over data and processes, this webinar is for you.
