Roadblock Title:

How to automate reconciliation with AI and build audit-ready ledger systems

Time:

Tuesday - 11:30 AM (Tower D)

Abstract:

Finance teams struggle with unstructured data from banks, PSPs, and billing, often stuck in Excel to reconcile thousands of transactions. This talk shows how AI—especially large language models—unifies ledgers, catches anomalies, and handles partial payments, cutting reconciliation time by up to 80%. We’ll explore seven ways AI revolutionizes finance ops, from transaction matching to real-time dashboards, plus high-speed ledger tech like TigerBeetle. Real examples reveal how continuous auditing aligns with PCI and SOX while eliminating errors. We’ll cover data pitfalls, AI fundamentals, ledger innovations, and a roadmap for implementation, finishing with Q&A.
