Deloitte's Omnia adds innovation with GenAI and agentic technology

Deloitte GenAI continues to reshape the way audit processes are conducted. With new artificial intelligence capabilities integrated into Omnia, the Firm’s global cloud-based Audit & Assurance platform, Deloitte enhances the auditor’s ability to navigate an increasingly complex, technology-enabled business environment while meeting evolving client needs.

Strengthening Leadership in Audit Innovation

According to Emeterio Barrón, Audit & Assurance Managing Partner of Deloitte Spanish Latin America, this expansion marks a key step in redefining the audit experience:

"We continue strengthening our leadership in audit by expanding AI capabilities within our global Omnia platform. The fast pace of technological advances and the growing complexity of business environments demand a constant commitment to digital transformation. We are excited to be at the forefront of applying the latest AI in audit and assurance processes, combining innovative tools with the expertise of our professionals."

Advancing Audit Processes with GenAI

The new set of capabilities reimagines audit processes by embedding generative AI (GenAI) into Omnia:

• Enhanced Documentation Review: GenAI provides initial reviews of audit documentation, offering suggestions for clarity and consistency.
• Improved Navigation of Financial Statements: Auditors can explore relevant content in draft financial statements and ask direct questions, streamlining cross-referencing procedures.
• Optimized Data Extraction: GenAI summarizes information from complex documents, helping auditors focus on valuable insights and reach conclusions efficiently.
• Advanced Drafting Capabilities: AI-powered workflows create drafts of audit-related communications and accounting memos.
• Improved Research Tools: Deloitte’s upgraded platform generates timely responses to audit and accounting research queries, synthesizing challenging topics to help auditors gain knowledge faster.
• Proactive Risk Management: AI technology evaluates external information sources to identify potential risk factors during audits.

The Next Frontier: AI Agents in Deloitte Omnia

As part of Deloitte’s technological evolution, intelligent agents are now being integrated into the Omnia ecosystem. These AI agents act as digital specialists that perform specific tasks, retain relevant information, and collaborate with other agents in a connected system.

"In the near future, AI agents will work seamlessly with our professionals, processing complex datasets, including satellite information, to identify patterns, anticipate risks, and detect anomalies with greater precision," added Barrón. "Built on strong professional responsibility principles and our commitment to protecting the public interest, Deloitte Omnia is laying the groundwork for a future where technology transforms opportunities into sustainable results."

All AI capabilities within Omnia are developed under Deloitte’s Trustworthy AI™ initiative, ensuring governance, controls, and compliance throughout the AI lifecycle. This approach strengthens quality standards and builds user confidence in technology-driven processes.

Recognition and Continued Commitment to Innovation

Since its launch in 2015, Deloitte Omnia has continuously integrated new technologies to deliver high-quality, customized audit experiences. In 2023, Deloitte was recognized at the International Accounting Forum and Awards with the title “AI Innovation Initiative of the Year” for its enhanced Omnia GenAI capabilities.

The Firm has also introduced large language models and purpose-built chatbots to empower nearly 85,000 Audit & Assurance professionals worldwide, recording over three million AI prompts in the first year of adoption.

Beyond internal innovation, Deloitte is scaling its external AI solutions. The Firm recently launched the Global Agentic Network, offering a suite of AI agents designed to deliver scalable, ready-to-deploy technology solutions for clients worldwide.
