State finance teams are being asked to do the impossible: deliver more with less, under rising scrutiny, tighter timelines, and ever-expanding mandates.
And yet, despite your team’s dedication and expertise, the system is stacked against you.
Decentralized data. Manual processes. A demand for continuous audit coverage without the visibility, speed, or support teams need to deliver it. The expectations keep growing while your capacity does not.
It’s not a failure of effort. It’s a failure of infrastructure.
That’s why it’s time to reframe the conversation about AI in government finance. This isn’t about replacement. It’s about empowerment.
Why states need human-first AI to meet rising mandates
Imagine your existing teams—your auditors, controllers, analysts—multiplied by the speed, precision, and endurance of AI. Not sidelined but strengthened. Not replaced but rearmed. It’s how you turn capable auditors into superstars (everyday chess players into grandmasters) with Human-Assisted AI as their edge.
One leading state audit office saw that opportunity and took it. Faced with mounting pressure to meet legislative expectations of continuous oversight, they knew status quo tools wouldn’t cut it. They didn’t need more dashboards. They needed decision-making firepower.
Their challenge? Go beyond the general ledger to understand the full lifecycle of state spending. From encumbrance to payment. From procurement to policy.
Their solution? Build a Central Insights Factory.
That shift from reactive reporting to continuous insight is reshaping how government runs. Audits are no longer just compliance outputs. They’re engines of intelligence that inform policy, elevate transparency, and accelerate smarter financial decisions statewide.
And ultimately, that means delivering better services to citizens. When audit and finance teams operate with real-time clarity and precision, agencies can allocate resources faster, reduce waste, and invest where it matters most—education, infrastructure, healthcare, and beyond.
This is more than modernization. It’s a blueprint for the future of state finance.
What is a Central Insights Factory—and why are states adopting it?
A Central Insights Factory is a smarter, AI-powered approach to understanding and acting on the full picture of state finance. One that continuously monitors activity across systems and flags anomalies without drowning your teams in false positives. It adapts to your processes, learns from your data, and delivers insights your teams can act on in real time.
Unlike traditional reporting systems or isolated dashboards, a Central Insights Factory acts as a connective layer across financial, procurement, and operational systems—creating a single stream of insight that fuels more confident decisions at every level of government.
The result? Faster issue detection, stronger internal controls, sharper audits, and ultimately, greater trust in how public funds are managed and deployed.
AI in government audits and oversight: what’s changing and why it matters
From our conversations with state auditors and controllers nationwide, one message is clear: today’s expectations can’t be met with yesterday’s tools. States need practical, proven, people-first AI. Solutions that fit into your workflows, not the other way around. Tools that amplify human judgment, not override it.
And that’s what we’re bringing to NASACT 2025.
In Boise, we’ll explore:
- How peer agencies are scaling impact with AI-assisted analysis.
- Why auditors need tools that change how they audit—not just what they audit.
- What it takes to go from reactive compliance to proactive governance.
- How to start building your Central Insights Factory today.
This is not a sales pitch. It’s a shared vision for the advancement of public finance.
Because the stakes are too high to keep playing catch-up. And the opportunity, when you get it right, is enormous.
You already have the talent. Now it’s time to give them the tools.
Join us in Boise and let’s build the future of government finance together.
