From audit rooms to agent fleets: why a CA runs AI systems

At PwC Singapore the work was cross-border deals worth hundreds of millions — evidence, controls, and calm under scrutiny. Web3 added war rooms where one wrong push moved real funds. AI agents combine both: continuous spending under uncertain control.
The transition was not a pivot. It was the same language of risk, trust, and value with new technology underneath — from reconciling ledgers to reconciling inference bills.
A smaller move
Do not replatform the company around AI. Meter one workflow, cap it, prove the payback, then expand. If the economics cannot survive one honest month on a single team, a transformation program will not save them.
