Most exposed

Where AI can do more

Routine, digitized, and highly repeatable tasks face the greatest pressure.

  1. Receive, record, and authorize requests for disbursements in accordance with company policies and procedures.76
  2. Maintain current knowledge of organizational policies and procedures, federal and state policies and directives, and current accounting standards.74
  3. Conduct or coordinate audits of company accounts and financial transactions to ensure compliance with state and federal requirements and statutes.74
  4. Supervise employees performing financial reporting, accounting, billing, collections, payroll, and budgeting duties.73
Hardest to automate

Where people still matter

These tasks score lowest on automation feasibility—physical presence, judgement, accountability and real-world variability all resist end-to-end automation.
