PwC auditors began using AI tools for audit reports a year ago. Shawn Panson leads the initiative and notes rapid AI tool evolution. AI now reads documents, flags gaps, and surfaces audit risks. Audit reports still meet the same regulatory standards. Work pace has quickened and quality improved. Time savings remain modest so far. PwC invested nearly $1.5 billion in AI capabilities. Full efficiency gains are expected in subsequent years.
