Future Forward July 2026: The AI Opportunity (and the Cyber Risk You Can't Ignore)
Speakers: Brittany Hill & Chris Jordan
Sponsored by: Flywire
Finance teams are adopting AI faster than most practices can keep up with — and cybercriminals are keeping pace. In this Future Forward session, Flywire explores the intersection of AI adoption and cybersecurity risk in accounting and finance: what threats are emerging as AI becomes embedded in financial workflows, what your clients should be protecting, and how to evaluate AI-powered tools without putting sensitive data at risk. Whether your clients are actively piloting AI tools or still weighing the decision, this session gives you the context to guide them.
Attendees will walk away with a practical understanding of how AI is reshaping A/R and finance operations — and the security questions every practice should be asking before recommending or implementing new tools. This session is built for accounting professionals who want to stay ahead of both the opportunity and the threat.
Learning Objectives:
