How are you using AI in financial operations to support compliance and business performance?

AI is transforming finance by strengthening compliance, boosting efficiency, and advancing sustainability goals. From automating error detection and reporting to predicting risks like supply chain disruption or carbon exposure, AI is helping organizations strengthen controls while freeing teams to focus on strategy.

But the challenge lies in balancing those proven use cases with the promise of advanced, cross-application agentic AI, which is still mostly in development. So, how can finance professionals set clear expectations, build realistic roadmaps, and ensure adoption? How can they ensure AI is accurate, transparent, and auditable? And how can AI go beyond compliance reporting to enable real ESG impact?

Join thought leaders from SAP, along with a group of likeminded peers, as we discuss how AI is reshaping finance today. Learn from organizations who are embracing AI thoughtfully to strengthen compliance, deliver meaningful sustainability insights, and position their organizations for resilient, sustainable growth.
