3E Accounting Establishes AI Committee For Industry 4.0
In this new VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) operating environment, the only constant is change. This is apparent from the shared experience with COVID-19, where businesses had to establish an online presence at very short notice following a shift away from conventional physical stores after national and global lockdown restrictions. Those who were armed with a robust business plan remained, whilst many others who did not were made redundant.
Amidst the pandemic, 3E Accounting became the first SME corporate service provider in Asia-Pacific to adopt robotics technology and disrupt the Accounting and Professional Services industry as the pioneer robotics corporate service provider, following a 15-month business transformation roadmap based on the firm’s Digital Master Plan. With all business processes now 100% digital, this gives the firm a strong edge over the competition with the development and deployment of remote processing and machine learning algorithms to support client services.
On 1 January 2021, 3E Accounting formed its Artificial Intelligence (AI) Committee in support of the AI Singapore initiative, to work towards achieving its ambitions of becoming a full-fledged AI corporate service provider by 2025. This comes as 3E Accounting marks its 10th anniversary milestone in the post-COVID economic age, and represents the determination by the leadership team to adapt, strategise, pivot, and re-strategise to meet market trends and stay ahead of the competition. The formation of the AI Committee recognises that effective guided tech transformation will determine the success of businesses in the marketplace of tomorrow, with the integration of digital-work-life technology in the 21st century.
AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence through the design and programming of machines. What AI does is complement and enhance the business’ core competencies. Through the use of elaborate algorithms, AI is capable of processing big data in an error-free manner, allowing critical business decisions to be made with ease and speed. AI would revolutionise traditional accounting methodology, which is often tedious, thereby significantly improving productivity and efficiency levels while helping to attract and retain top talent.
3E Accounting’s AI Committee is headed by the leadership team, who will oversee all ventures and development of AI technology, supported by a team with a strong background in digital technology, computing, and software development. The AI Committee will constitute a critical arm of the business by spearheading digital and robotic endeavours and ensuring that these initiatives are in line with the company’s overall goals. Some key areas include the adoption of an AI Trust Framework, Data Protection, Cybersecurity, AI Ethics, Algorithm Selection, Quantum Computing, Humanoid Robot, and Deep Learning. Besides these, the AI Committee is tasked with helping to identify potential areas for fraud and customer risk, allowing for timely prevention and rectification, a key defining value proposition for an accounting and professional corporate services provider.
As 3E Accounting marks 10 years of service beyond excellence in 2021, the company has set its sights on completing AI implementation in all business processes by 2025 and implementing humanoid robots by 2028.
“The potential for AI to reshape the business space as a strong disruptive force is precisely why establishing an AI Committee is of paramount importance. 3E Accounting’s bold move in establishing an AI Committee will give the company a first-in-class advantage over the competition. The AI Committee will also seek to upskill and build employee proficiency in AI, which will ensure continued employment and employability for staff and enhance productivity levels for the business.”
