CHALLENGES

Where AI creates risk for finance teams

AI can support finance and procurement teams in various ways, from reconciling transactions and forecasting cash flow to reviewing contracts. But if it isn’t used carefully, AI can create serious problems across the entire organization.

No visibility into AI spend

Employees may adopt AI tools without approval, which can make it difficult for finance teams to track subscriptions, spot duplicate services, or understand total AI spend. Without clear visibility into AI tool usage, expenses can quietly grow across the organization.

Shadow AI

Employees may start using AI tools independently, without management’s knowledge or approval. That makes it hard to know which tools are actually in use across finance and procurement, and whether any of them put sensitive data at risk.

Money finance

Duplicate licenses and wasted AI spend

Without a clear view of who’s actually using what, finance ends up paying for overlapping AI subscriptions across teams, unused seats that nobody has signed into, or tools that quietly continue renewing without delivering real value. 

Financial data leakage 

Teams may enter sensitive financial or business data into AI tools that haven’t been approved or properly secured by the company. Once shared, that information could be stored or used in ways the organization can’t control.

Compliance risks

Using AI can lead to violations of laws or internal policies, especially when teams share sensitive data with tools that lack proper controls. Such violations can result in financial penalties and reputational damage for the company.
