Helping tax and audit work smarter with cloud and AI

Coupling cloud and AI to fuel insight, collaboration, and innovation

As cloud becomes more pervasive, even cautious disciplines such as audit and tax are embracing it. Why? Because cloud—especially when it’s paired with AI—can reduce manual processing and provide centralized information that helps break down silos and fuel collaboration and innovation. In this episode of the podcast, David Linthicum and guest, Deloitte’s William Koscho, discuss how the audit and tax functions are adopting cloud to help their people work smarter, collaborate, and innovate. Bill’s take is that cloud is a sorely-needed boon to audit and tax, and that implementation goes more smoothly when the business and IT work together and leadership sets the tone from the top.
