AI in tax: Beyond the hype to where it actually adds value

In tax, precision matters. For Oracle users, determination is rule-based and must remain controlled and defensible. AI should not replace that logic; rather it should significantly enhance the environment in which that logic operates. This session explores how leveraging AI alongside your Oracle ERP can improve data governance, detect risk, enhance documentation, be at the heart of your tax control framework and provide predictive insight.

 11:55 am - 12:35 pm

Smarter Oracle Finance using AI: Turning Everyday Reporting into Actionable Business Insights

Finance teams often spend most of their month buried in spreadsheets and manual data preparation instead of guiding key business decisions.

By adopting a safe, business-ready AI layer designed specifically for finance, teams can ask everyday questions about their general ledgers, payables, and receivables to uncover instant financial insights, all without complex IT requests or data privacy risks.
