AI agents in finance? You need to audit them like employees.
We spoke with Ben Winter about one of the most overlooked challenges in AI adoption: auditability.
For CFOs and finance teams, it’s not enough for AI to execute tasks. Every action needs to be traceable, explainable, and attributable—just like with a human operator.
Ben shared how AI agents should be treated as “digital employees,” where every interaction is tracked, every change is logged, and every decision can be audited.
As AI starts handling more financial workflows, this raises a bigger question:
How will auditors evaluate systems where most actions are no longer performed by humans?
We’re moving from auditing people… to auditing AI systems. And the frameworks for that are still being defined.
