Caseware International Inc., a financial reporting solutions firm, has unveiled its latest innovation in the field of accounting and audit: Caseware AiDA. This AI-powered auditing tool is designed to enhance efficiency, ensure compliance, and provide context-aware responses to profession-specific inquiries. AiDA works seamlessly with Caseware's suite of solutions for accounting, audit, and finance professionals.
FieldGuide, an advisory and audit solutions provider, has released an AI-driven analytics solution called FieldGuide Insights specifically for accounting and consulting firm leaders. The solution includes dashboards, reports, and personalized recommendations and insights. It offers Time Savings Insights to show how much time firms are saving across different phases of their engagements and provides recommendations on how to save additional time. Practice Insights highlights client responsiveness to requests and provides overall visibility into the number, mix, and growth trends for engagements. The software also features Time Tracking Insights to determine how team members are spending their time. FieldGuide CEO Jin Chang stated that the solution is designed to help CPA firms overcome the industry talent shortage and grow their business. FieldGuide Insights is available on the FieldGuide AI Platform for audit and advisory firms. Last year, the company released its FieldGuide AI solution, which can draft and analyze documents and automate manual activities. The incorporation of cloud and AI technologies aims to address the profession's ongoing talent shortage by attracting top talent and streamlining mundane tasks. [edbe73ca]
