Notably, most companies are now funding this shift with IT support (73%) and dedicated budgets (71%).<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cBusiness today is anything but predictable. Companies are rushing toward AI\u2014but fragmented data is a massive hurdle,&#8221; said Steve Soter, VP and Industry Principal at Workiva. &#8220;We\u2019re at a turning point where executives are treating data clarity as a top-tier risk, providing the necessary funding to modernize data flows, drive financial clarity, and realize the full potential of AI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSurvey respondents said the top consequences of poor data quality are bad or delayed operational decisions, followed by regulatory fines or legal action, and the loss of investor or lender credibility. Recognizing these challenges, executives prioritizing data automation and governance should be intent on improving the quality of data inputs to bolster decision-making and maintain trust.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">Top Survey Trends<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Trustworthy Data is a Top Priority<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Organizations agree that finance transformation will fail without accurate, trustworthy data as its foundation. Many have established centers for excellence or steering committees to guide financial transformation, and nearly half have Chief Transformation Officers in place to drive accountability and measurable return.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n73% report dedicated IT team support for transformation initiatives<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n71% have secured a dedicated budget<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>AI Foundations are Maturing with Guardrails<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Most organizations are tying AI investments to strategy and moving quickly to apply AI where it can drive measurable outcomes. This shift is already showing up in decision-making, with nearly all organizations (91%) saying that AI has improved the timeliness and strategic value of financial decisions. At the same time, leaders are scaling AI in their reporting with guardrails, expanding usage while strengthening oversight and control.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n65% use AI in select components of quarterly or annual disclosures, and 46% use it extensively across the reporting process<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n76% say that internal audit teams test their AI models<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>CFO-CIO-CSO Collaboration is Imperative<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Across the board, stakeholders agree that organizations must modernize how data flows across teams and systems so vast datasets can be collected, analyzed, and validated. Organizations that share a single transformation agenda and shared investment targets are best positioned to scale AI responsibly and meet rising expectations for transparent, trustworthy data.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n96% say the CFO, CIO, and CSO must unite around a shared data governance strategy<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n96% say better access to shared data improves the likelihood of achieving optimal business outcomes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cDigital transformation is not just a technology upgrade. It\u2019s a strategic investment in achieving business outcomes like speed to insight, lower operational and compliance risk, and scalable growth,\u201d said Heather Holding, Chief Risk Officer, Best Egg. \u201cThere is a quantifiable cost to the status quo and falling behind competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe survey includes insights from 1,497 professionals in finance and accounting, sustainability, internal audit, operations, and legal departments at global organizations.
