Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Artificial intelligence and techniques such as Machine Learning, Behavioral Analytics, and Natural Language Processing, can power the financial fraud detection, which is a critical task in forensic accounting. Effective fraud detection amid a massive increase in financial data can help reduce damage and deter future fraudulent activities. This article discusses the challenges and risks involved, as well as the unintended consequences of developing and implementing artificial intelligence that need to be managed, including data quality and integrity, interpretability, privacy and compliance, resistance to change, costs and resources, and technology over-reliance. Accounting professionals should consider applying laws and risk management frameworks for artificial intelligence as a tool for fraud detection.
