From expense reports and invoices to audits and policy enforcement, AI is reshaping how state and local government works. The technology can surface duplicate payments, flag out-of-policy actions in real time and identify patterns that would take auditors weeks to uncover. In fact, organizations using AI-driven analysis can detect anomalies across massive datasets instantly, helping teams move from manual review to exception-based oversight.

But the same technology making operations more efficient is also making fraud harder to spot. Deepfake receipts, synthetic vendors and AI-generated invoices are already slipping past traditional controls, especially in environments with limited staff and increasing audit pressure. 

Join us for a practical discussion on how state and local finance and IT leaders can apply AI to strengthen controls, support the audit team and reduce risk without adding complexity or overhauling existing systems. If you’re responsible for systems, security or spend visibility, this session will give you a clearer view of where AI delivers real value.

Why attend:

  • See how AI flags costly errors before they’re paid by analyzing 100% of transactions and identifying anomalies, duplicates and suspicious patterns in real time
  • Learn how to support audits without increasing workload by shifting teams from manual review to focusing only on high-risk exceptions
  • Understand how to defend against AI-driven fraud tactics like deepfake invoices and synthetic identities that are bypassing traditional controls
