Synopsis

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
• Understand and overcome the governance and leadership challenges inherent in AI strategy

Accounting and auditing firms need a comprehensive framework for intelligent, automation-centric modernization. Artificial Intelligence for Audit, Forensic Accounting, and Valuation delivers just that―a plan to evolve legacy firms by building firmwide AI capabilities.

From the Inside Flap

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing fields in countless industries and accounting has not been an exception. But instead of making human beings redundant in the areas of audit, forensic accounting, and valuation as some predicted, AI has simply changed how skilled practitioners carry out their complex tasks.

Written in four parts, Artificial Intelligence for Audit, Forensic Accounting, and Valuation: A Strategic Perspective introduces you to the building blocks and forces that have combined to unleash the power of artificial intelligence as well as the ways in which you can capture and harness that power.

With a particular emphasis on the automation of the audit, forensic, and valuation processes, this book provides practical solutions for accounting professionals who seek to develop their understanding of artificial intelligence in the accounting space. The book's scope is not limited to a single country or industry, and references to nation-specific accounting standards are avoided.

AI is poised to revolutionize audit and assurance services across the globe. In fact, it's already doing that. Its impact will not be limited to a specific industry or nation, and author Al Naqvi walks readers through a comprehensive examination of the fundamentals of artificial intelligence technology that is relevant to all finance professionals. Additionally, he discusses how artificial intelligence will change the very nature of organizations, requiring a new understanding of the structure of the firm.

Whether your next project is an audit of an oil and gas organization in Dubai or a valuation of a tech firm in Silicon Valley, Artificial Intelligence for Audit, Forensic Accounting, and Valuation reveals how you can apply AI in your practice to accelerate, optimize, and automate your processes.
