AI in Finance: What Changes, What Stays, What's Next

In the second episode of The Thought Line, we explore how AI is reshaping the finance function; from reporting the status quo to predicting what comes next. Joined by Swatantra Bhatia, Partner, Accounting and Outsourcing at Forvis Mazars in India, the conversation examines why many organisations remain stuck in the “pilot phase” despite strong intent to scale up. From data quality and fragmented processes to questions of trust, governance, and scalability, the barriers to adoption go far beyond technology. The episode also touches upon how organisations are leveraging integrated digital platforms such as Forvis Mazars in India’s AOS Cockpit to improve visibility, streamline compliance workflows, and enhance client engagement. Tune in for a practical perspective on moving from experimentation to enterprise-wide impact.
