Abstract AI is rapidly reshaping the finance function. But as adoption accelerates, finance leaders are increasingly challenged by a different question: how do you embrace AI-driven innovation without losing trust, transparency, and human judgment along the way?

In this session, Wolters Kluwer CCH Tagetik shares its perspective on responsible AI adoption within finance, built around principles such as accountability, explainability and maintaining human oversight in decision-making. Together, we explore how these principles translate into real-world finance processes including planning, consolidation, and ESG reporting, and how organizations are navigating the growing pressure to innovate while still maintaining confidence, control and governance. Rather than focusing purely on technology, this session centers on the broader leadership and organizational questions surrounding AI adoption in finance and what responsible implementation looks like in practice.
