Vai zvērināts revidents kontrolē vai konsultē?

Gada pārskata revīzija bieži vien uzņēmuma vadībai un grāmatvežiem rada satraukumu, jo tā prasa papildu laiku, resursus un neziņu par to, ko stāstīt un ko revidents ir tiesīgs prasīt. Vai revidenta loma ir kontrolēt vai konsultēt? Ko revidents var pieprasīt revīzijas procesā, un kā uzņēmums var tam sagatavoties?

🌿 Making an at Riga Zoo! 🐾

Our annual Deloitte Impact Day brought together our colleagues for a meaningful day of volunteering at Riga Zoo, and this year, we even had some special little helpers joining us. 💚

Together, we rolled up our sleeves to support the Zoo through territory clean-up, gardening, and a few unexpected tasks that kept the day interesting and reminded us that volunteering often comes with surprises.
Beyond the work itself, the day was full of memorable moments. We had the chance to meet some of the Zoo's newest residents, including adorable animal babies, and enjoy time outdoors with colleagues and their families. Seeing children actively participate alongside their parents made the experience even more special and highlighted the importance of caring for our environment across generations.

After a productive morning, we gathered for a picnic lunch, sharing stories, laughter, and well-earned refreshments. We wrapped up the day with a fascinating excursion of the Zoo.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part. Days like these remind us that creating a positive impact is not only about giving back—it's also about learning, connecting, and making lasting memories together.

🌐 How can we build responsible, effective, and human-centered interactions with artificial intelligence?

This critical question was the focal point of the recent CFO Network panel discussion “Artificial Intelligence – The Future of Innovation and Human Interaction”. It brought together an inspiring lineup of thought leaders: Aigars Runcis, Maksims Naumovs, Liene Voroņenko, and Guna Puce, to address one of today's most pressing challenges: bridging the gap between rapid technological innovation and meaningful human interaction in the age of AI.

Key highlights from this compelling discussion:

1️⃣ Bridging the AI Adoption Gap
The panel discussed the disconnect between technology implementation and human interaction design. Deloitte research shows many organizations still view AI through a technology-first lens, neglecting to rethink how humans and AI can collaborate effectively.

2️⃣ Trust as the Cornerstone
A central theme was trust in AI—or the lack thereof. Hesitations stem from:
• Fear of the unknown and loss of ones job
• Limited understanding of AI
• Concerns about ethics, bias, and decision-making
Building trust requires more than new tools. It demands transparency, education, governance, and fostering environments where employees can confidently use AI responsibly.

3️⃣ AI as an Enabler, Not a Replacement
AI should enhance human judgment, not replace it. Competitive advantage comes from designing intentional collaboration between humans and AI, not just adopting technology.

4️⃣ Ethics and Inclusivity Are Non-Negotiable
The panel emphasized the ethical dimension of AI. Organizations must actively shape frameworks to ensure

AI systems are:
• Inclusive
• Unbiased
• Aligned with societal values

As the conversation concluded, the message was clear: AI success lies not in implementation alone, but in creating meaningful, trustworthy, and responsible interactions between humans and technology.

✨ A big thank you to our incredible panelists for their insights and forward-thinking contributions to this important topic!

🌟 Exploring the Future of AI at the CFO Network Event

During the recent CFO Network event titled “Artificial Intelligence – The Future of Innovation and Human Interaction”, Maksims Naumovs, Deloitte AI and Data Director, delivered an insightful presentation on turning AI experimentation into tangible business success.

🔑 Key Highlights from the Talk:
• Bridging the Experimentation Gap: Maksims emphasized the challenge many organizations face in shifting from pilot AI initiatives to full-scale, production-ready solutions. While experimentation is widespread, the ability to scale effectively is the linchpin to unlocking AI’s true potential.
• ROI Insights: Using data-driven research, he demonstrated that AI value creation often takes time to flourish. While some organizations achieve positive ROI within 2 to 4 years, only a small percentage see returns within the first 12 months—a valuable reminder that impactful outcomes require thoughtful planning and patience.
• Scaling Challenges in Numbers: An eye-opening statistic revealed that while 38% of organizations are piloting AI agents, only 11% have successfully deployed them in production! This stark contrast highlights the hurdles in scaling AI beyond the experimentation phase.

🧠 Key Takeaway: Success isn’t just about launching AI projects; it’s about integrating AI solutions into operations, scaling them effectively, and delivering measurable business value over time.

Events like these remind us of the crucial steps needed to leverage AI for meaningful innovation and practical impact. Kudos to Maksims Naumovs and the CFO Network team for sparking such an enlightening discussion!

🌟 Highlights from the CFO Network Event: “Artificial Intelligence – The Future of Innovation and Human Interaction” 🌟

At the recent CFO Network event, Aigars Runčis, LMT Group Business Development Director, delivered a thought-provoking session on the adoption of artificial intelligence and its transformative impact on organisations today.

🔍 Key Takeaways:
Aigars emphasized the importance of adopting a practical, results-driven approach to AI—moving beyond the hype to focus on measurable, actionable impacts. He shared insights on how AI is evolving at a remarkable pace, creating challenges for organisations and individuals striving to keep up with this paradigm shift.

💡 A Strategic Perspective:
One of the standout messages from his talk was that asking, “Does your company use AI?” may soon become as outdated as asking whether a company uses computers. The real question is now: “How effectively is AI being integrated into operations and decision-making?”
In this rapidly changing landscape, AI is transforming from a competitive advantage into a baseline expectation. Organisations need to adapt swiftly to this shift or risk falling behind.

🏆 Competitive Advantage Redefined:
Aigars pointed out that AI is leveling the playing field between organisations. Success is no longer defined by sheer size or resources but by speed, adaptability, and execution—the key drivers of business resilience and differentiation in the AI era.

🌍 Real-World Applications:
To bring innovation to life, Aigars shared inspiring examples, such as:
• Using AI to analyze bird flight paths near turbines for sustainable energy solutions.
• The development of one of the world’s smallest communication modules, showcasing how AI-powered advancements are shaping industries.

🚀 The Message is Clear:
Organisations that embrace AI fully and adapt thoughtfully are poised to lead the next wave of industry transformation. However, those that hesitate risk being left behind as technological innovation becomes the new standard.

Let’s redefine the future of innovation and interaction! 🎯

🚀 Exploring the Future of Finance and AI Innovation 🌟

During the CFO Network event, "Artificial Intelligence – The Future of Innovation and Human Interaction", Ieva Bore, Tieto Banktech's Card Issuance Dispute Operations Manager and Banktech AI Manager, delivered an insightful presentation on how Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the way finance and business professionals interact with data.

Her presentation introduced FinanceBot—a groundbreaking solution enabling users to converse with financial data via natural language. Imagine moving away from manually combing through reports, tables, and dashboards! With FinanceBot, users can simply ask questions to receive actionable, structured answers complete with explanations and data references.

🔑 Insights to Action
The talk emphasized a paradigm shift in working models — transitioning from manual data retrieval to self-service, conversational analytics. This approach empowers business users to access insights faster, reduce reliance on technical intermediaries, and make real-time decisions with greater confidence.

📢 Data as the Foundation for Success
Ieva underscored a critical principle: AI is only as reliable as the data and systems supporting it. Without robust data quality, governance, and access controls, even the most advanced AI solutions won’t deliver meaningful value. As the age-old saying reminds us: “crap in, crap out” — building trustworthy systems is paramount.

💡 FinanceBot in Action
As an MVP/Proof of Concept integrated with Microsoft Teams, FinanceBot currently works with historical data to validate both accuracy and business value in secure, controlled environments. This approach ensures fast testing of business impact while maintaining compliance and security requirements.

🌍 Key Takeaway
Ieva’s message was clear: the future of finance interaction lies in making data accessible, actionable, and conversational. But this transformation must be built on trust, governance, and responsible AI practices.
