About This Course

This webinar shows how forensic accounting teams can combine AI-assisted review, Excel models, and Power BI dashboards without weakening audit trail quality or evidential control. The session maps where AI fits in document review, exception triage, narrative drafting, and hypothesis testing, and where structured Excel logic and dashboard reporting must remain the primary control layer.

Participants learn how to organise exception logs, preserve source traceability, validate model outputs, challenge unsupported statements, and produce working papers and reports that remain reviewable, reproducible, and defensible.
