Artificial Intelligence for Audit, Forensic Accounting, and Valuation - A Strategic Perspective

Strategically integrate AI into your organization to compete in the tech era
 
The rise of artificial intelligence is nothing short of a technological revolution. AI is poised to completely transform accounting and auditing professions, yet its current application within these areas is limited and fragmented. Existing AI implementations tend to solve very narrow business issues, rather than serving as a powerful tech framework for next-generation accounting. Artificial Intelligence for Audit, Forensic Accounting, and Valuation provides a strategic viewpoint on how AI can be comprehensively integrated within audit management, leading to better automated models, forensic accounting, and beyond.
 
No other book on the market takes such a wide-ranging approach to using AI in audit and accounting. With this guide, you'll be able to build an innovative, automated accounting strategy, using artificial intelligence as the cornerstone and foundation. This is a must, because AI is quickly growing to be the single competitive factor for audit and accounting firms. With better AI comes better results. If you aren't integrating AI and automation in the strategic DNA of your business, you're at risk of being left behind.
* See how artificial intelligence can form the cornerstone of integrated, automated audit and accounting services
* Learn how to build AI into your organization to remain competitive in the era of automation
* Go beyond siloed AI implementations to modernize and deliver results across the organization
