How can technology and human creativity intersect to deliver the best outcomes?  Can technology ever truly exercise professional judgment, or will this always require human oversight?  Why do "soft skills" like storytelling, imagination, and relationship-building remain the strength of humans in this field?  In a world of "noise" and deep fakes, how can audit evolve to become a primary enabler of trust?  What practical steps can firms take right now to prepare their workforce for this new world of audit?  If you are interested in how human creativity could reshape audit, this conversation is for you.  If you enjoyed this conversation, don't miss our sister podcast, Business Leader's Voice. In this series, we talk directly to business leaders about what is disrupting their industries, what occupies their headspace, and what it is really like for them to work with professional services firms.  ","author_name":"The Future of the Firm","author_url":"https:\/\/www.sourceglobalresearch.com","html":"
