BGL Online Summit: The Future of SMSF Auditing: AI, Automation and BGL Integration with ASF Audits

AI is changing what an SMSF audit can see — not just how fast it gets done.

For accounting firms using BGL, the real opportunity is a deeper audit, not only a quicker one.

In this session, ASF Audits’ Chief Technology Officer Peter Bakker shows how ASF is putting AI to work inside the BGL audit workflow: reading the unstructured documents behind a fund — bank statements, contracts, invoices and minutes — cross-checking them against the data in BGL, and surfacing the exceptions that matter for auditor judgement.

Peter will also introduce Audy, ASF’s in-house AI audit assistant that helps the team find technical answers in seconds instead of trawling the web.

The honest theme of the session: AI gives our auditors more time and sharper information, and we reinvest both into client service, training and continuously improving the system.

If you want to understand where audit technology is genuinely heading — beyond the hype — this is a practical, real-world look from a firm doing it today.
