2026 Accounting Trends Live Series Virtual Event

Using AI Prompting to Support Accounting & Auditing Workflows (Practical Use Cases + Guardrails) 

Speakers: Kevin Wang and Brittney Robertson

AI tools are showing up in accounting and finance workflows whether organizations are ready or not. This session moves past the overview and into practical application—showing controllers, finance managers, and internal auditors how to use AI prompting to support real accounting and auditing work inside their organizations, and where to draw the line. Attendees will see effective vs. ineffective prompts for tasks like variance analysis, financial reporting support, internal control documentation, and technical research—then learn the risks, boundaries, and review practices that keep AI a tool, not a decision-maker.
