KPMG Transforms Audit Operations with AI-driven Automation
KPMG has launched a comprehensive transformation of its global audit operations by integrating advanced AI and cloud services from Microsoft. Through a multi-year, multi-billion dollar partnership, KPMG embedded Microsoft Copilot, Azure OpenAI, and Cognitive Services into KPMG Clara, its smart audit platform. This empowers 85,000 audit professionals to enhance audit quality, automate regulatory compliance, and improve risk assessment. The deployment equips all partners and staff with Copilot access to streamline process documentation, automate the creation of business narratives, and improve audit evidence analysis. By leveraging transaction scoring, generative AI, and analytics underpinned by Microsoft Fabric, KPMG delivers more effective compliance checks and prepares for AI-related risks in financial reporting. The move responds to the increasing demand for AI-powered audit analytics and third-party attestation in a landscape of evolving regulatory and technological risk. Results include improved audit efficiency, better stakeholder trust, and scalable analytics solutions now used in hundreds of audit teams globally.
