What is a Real Time System Assessment?

      Real Time System Assessments (RTSA) allow for timely and relevant feedback to be applied to information systems changes or additions prior to go-live. Performing an RTSA creates efficiencies by identifying deficiencies prior to full implementation and reducing the risk of negative impact to financial statement audit results during the year of go-live.

      Applying RTSA discipline to AI systems

      As organizations embed AI solutions into financial reporting and critical business processes, managing risk before deployment is essential. KPMG’s AI RTSA extends real‑time assurance to AI, providing independent insight throughout the AI System Development Lifecycle. By identifying risks and control gaps early, organizations can strengthen governance, reduce disruption at go‑live, and implement AI with greater confidence.
