Case study

Faster finance exception handling, with a full audit trail

A finance team cut time spent on reconciliation exceptions by having AI prepare each case for review before anyone makes a change.

Time per exception
41% faster
Cases AI helps prepare
72%
System changes
Always human-approved

Exception queues grew faster than the team. Analysts spent hours collecting context from ERP, bank feeds, and email before they could decide what to do.

Controls first

Every suggestion includes a reason and links to source documents. Nothing posts without an analyst action. That rule shaped the design from day one.

How the team runs it

We also set queue targets, a simple way to group exception types, and a weekly quality review so the system improves instead of drifting.

Results

  • Much less time spent per exception

  • Clearer case notes for audit review

  • A defined path for high-risk items that need escalation
