AI is making significant inroads into finance departments, transforming how tasks like fraud detection and contract review are handled. This change is largely driven by employees adopting AI tools ahead of formal governance, prompting a need for executive oversight. The emphasis is on integrating AI into existing processes rather than replacing them, with ease of integration being a key adoption driver. The main challenge is the gap between domain expertise and AI fluency, which could lead to misuse or over-restriction of AI tools. This shift enables finance teams to focus more on strategic planning rather than routine reconciliations.
