Future-Proof Finance: AI and Automation - Risk or Return?

In today’s finance landscape, AI and automation are transforming how professionals work, govern risk, and unlock value. This webinar delivers a practical, governance-aware view that blends regulatory guidance with real-world application.

What you’ll learn:

• AI in practice: An evidence-informed look at how professionals are using LLMs and automation. We review external research and the CA Assistant data to illustrate common use cases, benefits, and the notable challenges you’ll want to plan for.
• Path to value: A pragmatic, software-like approach to unlocking AI benefits through experimentation and continuous education. We’ll outline governance-lite practices, risk-aware safeguards, and a repeatable process to test, measure, and scale AI responsibly.

Why this matters:

• Stay compliant while innovating: Understand the regulatory touchpoints and governance practices that enable responsible AI adoption.
