Where trustworthy data ends and risk begins.

A closed-door discussion for financial reporting, controls and audit leaders on what it takes to stand behind a number before it goes public.

45% of finance teams remain stuck in limited AI pilot mode, and 68% of CFOs admit they have been slow to adopt because they do not know where to start. The gap is not AI capability. It is knowing where trustworthy data ends and risk begins.


Workiva research across 1,497 professionals globally found 95% of institutional investors believe leaders underestimate the risk of fragmented financial reporting data. Its connected platform links financial reporting, sustainability disclosure and audit/risk data automatically, rather than leaving each in a separate point tool.

What we'll be exploring.

Talking points on the table include, but are not limited to:

01

The 68% stall, and it is not capability

What is actually blocking the first step, and why more tooling has not moved it.

02

One connected platform

Financial reporting, sustainability and audit/risk linked automatically rather than reconciled by hand.

03

The Sustainability Disclosure Agent

What AI-assisted drafting means for ESRS and IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards compliance.

04

Proving it before the board sees it

Verifying the number ahead of disclosure, rather than defending it afterwards.
