Helping tax and audit work smarter with cloud and AI
Part of the For Cloud Professionals podcast series
Cloud–especially when paired with AI–is proving its value, even to conservative disciplines such as audit and tax, where it's helping people work smarter and fueling collaboration and innovation. One key to success: Leadership should set the tone from the top.

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.
Disclaimer: As referenced in this podcast, “Amazon” refers to AWS (Amazon Web Services) and “Google” refers to GCP (Google Cloud Platform).
If you want to build cloud projects and do it well, you can't do it in a siloed way...so it forces a movement towards agile and cross-functional teaming.
Bill Koscho is the global audit and assurance cloud leader and global managing director of audit technology for Deloitte. He heads Deloitte’s Azure architecture, Azure security controls and DevOps, and he leads Deloitte's global Audit technology organization.
The last holdout: Tax embraces the cloud
The tax function has historically been reluctant to fully embrace the cloud. Regulatory demands and the need to gain deeper insights is changing that. The payoff for companies that make the leap can be huge.
Want cloud success? It's in the strategy, not the tools
Many organizations are wowed by new cloud technologies, and they are great, but a sound leadership and strategy that drives business value is another key to cloud success.
Put Cloud in context with the future of business and technology
Because cloud is never just about cloud, a podcast about cloud isn’t either. Our two hosts deliver two unique perspectives to help bring you closer to achieving what matters most—your possible.
