Berlin, August 1, 2024

  • 90,000 employees worldwide are now using "KPMG Clara AI"
  • Generative AI improves quality and efficiency along the entire audit process
  • "Human in the loop" approach guarantees reliable interaction between man and machine

KPMG's approximately 90,000 auditors will benefit even more from generative AI in their work in the future: KPMG International, together with the country offices of the KPMG network, has announced an expansion of the global audit platform "KPMG Clara" to include applications from the field of generative AI. By expanding AI-supported processes in both the audit of financial statements and the ESG audit, the company is strengthening the quality and security of the audit and thus confidence in the results.

Assessments of industry-specific risks with implications for the financial performance of companies can also be honed with the help of generative AI. One example of this is the AI-supported analysis of contracts and meeting minutes. At the same time, "KPMG Clara AI" gives auditors fast and comprehensive access to audit-relevant information from the KPMG network and enables them to document and process their findings more efficiently.

With Clara AI, KPMG therefore not only gives its audit teams access to cutting-edge technologies and knowledge, but also trains them in the responsible use of generative AI. With the so-called "human in the loop" approach, the company ensures that people, with their expertise and critical attitude, remain responsible for the quality and security of the results even with increasing automation.

"KPMG Clara AI" will be successively expanded over the coming months. Among other things, employees will be able to access a growing library of prompts that produce quality-assured results.
