AI and technology in Audit

You can expect more from your audit with AI

KPMG is transforming the audit experience by harnessing the latest technology, including AI, to deliver a risk-based and data-driven audit. Through process automation and enhanced agility, KPMG audit professionals are able to focus on the data that matters most and offer new insights that can help organizations move their businesses forward. We believe intelligent automation enables a faster, more efficient audit, increasing quality while reshaping the nature of auditing itself. Its potential to power productivity and drive decision-making is ready to be realized.

At KPMG, we combine our global audit experience and AI services to help you adopt AI responsibly, putting governance and ethics front and center so you can modernize with confidence. Whether streamlining processes or uncovering new value, our global organization of member firms helps you move beyond complexity — translating AI into true business advantage.

We’re continuing to build out our AI capabilities with increasingly sophisticated agents in KPMG Clara to enable KPMG firms’ auditors to more effectively respond to risks and deliver deeper audit insights. As KPMG firms accelerate the adoption of this innovative technology and deploy new capabilities, we are maintaining a high level of professional skepticism and upskilling KPMG professionals to drive trust in the capital markets.

AI Assurance services

KPMG has introduced new AI assurance capabilities mapped to the KPMG Trusted AI Framework.

These capabilities help organizations scale AI ethically and responsibly, providing independent insights and setting new industry standards for assurance. They include:

Gap and Readiness Assessments: Evaluating AI systems against recognized frameworks, including fairness checks and robustness testing.
AI Assurance: Ensuring control mechanisms are in place to uphold accountability, mitigate bias, and promote ethical practices.
AI Governance: Strategic guidance on ethical design, governance, implementation, and monitoring of AI systems.

As organizations accelerate their adoption of AI, trust, transparency and accountability have never been more critical. KPMG helps clients navigate this evolving landscape with a comprehensive suite of AI assurance services designed to bring confidence and integrity to your AI systems.

Assurance of AI will become a foundational requirement, it is the cornerstone of trustworthiness and accountability. Without independent mechanisms ensuring their oversight, reliability, and ethical integrity, organizations expose themselves to risks that are too significant to ignore. Demonstrating such accountability through third-party assurance inspires public trust and protects against the growing concerns surrounding misuse, bias and inefficiencies in AI.
