Responsible AI for stronger finance, sharper assurance and better decisions

Artificial intelligence widens what we can examine and the time we spend on what matters. Professional judgement, auditor independence and human review remain central to every conclusion.

What we help you solve

  • AI tools adopted by teams with no usage policy, and confidential data in circulation.
  • An automation promise that never got past the demonstration.
  • Transaction volumes too large for sample-based testing to be credible.
  • A board asking for a clear position on AI without knowing what it is deciding.
Credibility rule. We show demonstrable use cases, governance safeguards and named human accountability. AI does not substitute for professional judgement, auditor independence or required review.

Start with a narrow scope

We recommend beginning with a single, measurable use case involving no sensitive data, and a success criterion agreed in advance. A pilot that fails cleanly is worth more than a programme that drifts without a decision.

What we do

  • AI readiness and opportunity assessment
  • AI-assisted audit and anomaly detection
  • Predictive cash-flow, risk and performance analytics
  • Intelligent document and finance-process automation
  • AI governance, controls and responsible-use policies
  • AI model risk and assurance readiness
  • Executive and finance-team training

Standards and regional context

We reference AI risk-management principles of the NIST AI RMF type and the ISO/IEC 42001 standard, applied to the scale and context of each organisation, alongside the ethical obligations of the accountancy profession.

How we work

Discover

We frame the context, the risks and stakeholder expectations before proposing an approach.

We build an approach proportionate to the real risk, not to a standard format.

Deliver

We carry out the work with documentation that stands up to third-party scrutiny.

LexIA

LexIA — tax and accounting assistant, in pilot

LexIA is our conversational assistant for tax and accounting questions in the Togolese and OHADA context. It is currently in pilot: we are opening it gradually and gathering user feedback to improve it.

  • Find an applicable tax rule or accounting treatment quickly
  • Prepare a question before speaking to your adviser
  • Understand the logic behind a filing requirement or obligation
  • Identify the points that genuinely warrant professional advice
Scope and limits. LexIA provides general information. Its answers are not professional advice, a tax or legal opinion, or an audit service, and must be verified by a professional before any decision is taken. Do not enter confidential data into it, or anything that could identify your own clients. LexIA is a separate service, hosted on a different domain and governed by its own terms.

Our responsible AI commitments

  • Human oversight and clearly assigned accountability
  • Client-data confidentiality and approved hosting
  • Documented purpose, limitations and validation for every use
  • Bias, accuracy and security assessment
  • Access control, logging and monitoring
  • Compliance with professional ethics and applicable law
  • No confidential client data submitted to public AI tools without written authorisation and appropriate safeguards
