AI-powered auditing has become genuinely game-changing for compliance work. What traditionally demanded 200k+ and 3 months from professional audit firms can now get handled more efficiently—and honestly, most issues slip through traditional processes anyway. The cost-benefit is hard to argue with. Some AI assistants outperform others significantly in this domain; the capability gap between different models is quite noticeable when you're actually running audits.

It sounds like the audit industry has been really squeezed by AI. Tasks that used to take three months and cost 2 million yuan can now be done with a single click. The traditional audit process was already quite vulnerable... Are AI models really that different? It seems necessary to choose carefully. Honestly, if this becomes widespread, how many people in the auditing industry will face layoffs? Can AI audits catch those hidden financial black holes, or are they only capable of checking surface-level compliance? Saving 200k is great, but can we trust it as much as traditional audits to back our assurances? Are there any particularly reliable AI audit tools out there? Please share if you know. This wave is indeed a model of cost reduction and efficiency improvement, but the subsequent policy risks are not small either. But to be fair, traditional audits didn't uncover that many issues to begin with... Can you specify which AI models outperform others in auditing? With costs dropping so much, does that mean the quality might also be shrinking?

Over 2 million in audit fees are now being taken away by AI waves, and traditional audits still miss a bunch of issues. How outrageous is that? Are the differences between AI models really that big? Is it really that obvious? Honestly, it still depends on which model you choose. Picking the wrong one might be a waste. Are human auditors about to lose their jobs? Haha. With the industry so competitive, AI doing audits is truly more reliable than humans. Traditional auditing firms must be getting anxious. If the model capabilities are so different, how can investors feel assured? If AI auditing is really so powerful, why do companies still spend so much money? Speed is fast, but what about the risks? Is anyone taking the blame? Not all companies dare to let AI handle everything; human oversight is still necessary. If this thing really becomes widespread, the auditing industry will undergo a major reshuffle.
