While AI aids the industry with automation to secure consumers' trust, blockchain ensures that the customer data is handled in a safe environment, free from external interference and tampering. The finance executives can easily evaluate information related to every transaction and gain the visibility of financial controls across many systems, people, and departments. This capability will help the decision makers discover and tackle the potential risks and fraudulent activities proactively. Besides, the combination of IoT, AI, robotic process automation (RPA), and blockchain enhance the service delivery of the financial institutions (FIs) by allowing them to make better decisions. Automating key finance-related tasks like accounts reconciliation, journal entries, and financial statements with the trending technologies can help FIs serve their clients in different countries while complying with regulations in a multi-language and multi-currency environment. To improve the net liquidity of all transactions, FIs can also leverage machine learning that generates better discount terms on settlement dates. Organizations can also manage the entire accounting and finance lifecycle centrally and improve process execution.To assist financial institutions in taking advantage of automation, this edition of CFO Tech Outlook features a list of leading financial control and automation solution providers along with insightful articles from thought leaders in the finance arena.
