How AI Is Rewriting the Audit Playbook with PwC, Rillet, and Brex

​Audits used to mean months of prep, binders of documentation, and a whole lot of hoping the auditor picks the right 20 samples. AI is changing that — on both sides of the table.

​Join PwC Audit Partner Witek Sobanski, Brex Controller Kevin Moore, and Rillet Head of Finance Stephen Hedlund for a virtual panel on what the modern audit actually looks like, what's coming next, and what growth-stage finance teams need to know right now.

​Best for: Controllers, Heads of Finance and Accounting, and finance leaders at hypergrowth companies.

Witek Sobanski is an Audit Partner at PwC with nearly 19 years of experience working with financial services and technology companies. A significant part of his practice is focused on the startup ecosystem — first audits, fundraises, and IPO readiness — where most conversations today come back to one thing: AI. How to adopt it, govern it, and turn it into a compelling investor story.

About Stephen

An MBA graduate from Chicago Booth, he began his career at Walmart, and later went on to support growth-stage Silicon Valley startups, including Molekule, OpenSpace, and Mercury.
