Those of you in audit, do you see AI eliminating most of the low level work we need to do in the next 5 years? Some tools are being floated around our office for potential use and the higher ups say it could boost output significantly.

Honestly as a former auditor I don’t know how AI won’t be able to do the entire job of an associate. Once AI can process crappy formatting and shoddy pdfs it’s game over

Would love if AI could replace offshore resources, but haven’t seen any indication of that yet. Only rumblings of AI tools that we never actually get to use

Yes I do. But significant gains need to be made in AI specific to audit work.

People said the same thing when Excel came out. We’ll all be fine.

I think this is a little bit different than just excel. Yeah it greatly boosted company output when it came out. But we’re talking an AI that could possibly do a job that would take an hour in under 5 minutes. I admit it’s speculation, but I have a feeling that this might replace the low level associate in the next 10 years

What are your thoughts on invoking the rule of sequestration at a deposition in a case in state court? I have heard some attorneys argue that it is inapplicable, while others have argued that it does apply.

And does your answer change if the "extra" person is adverse to the deponent? For instance, a corporate plaintiff having two reps at the defendant's deposition.
