""Now, it's shifting to: 'How have you used AI? What are your prompting skills? Have you written prompt scripts for agentic AI?'""
""You're not coding-you're writing plain English instructions," Reddy said. "It takes trial and error to find the right level of detail for querying.""
""Is this grounded? Is this auditable?""
""Prompt engineering is foundational," Tommy Schroeder, managing director at Accenture, said during the panel session led by Julie Gonzalez, SVP of finance at Workday."
Finance and accounting roles increasingly prioritize AI use and prompting skills, including writing prompt scripts for agentic AI. Employees receive training to write precise prompts and interact with AI agents using plain English instructions. Prompt refinement requires trial and error to determine appropriate levels of detail for effective querying. Controls and validation focus on grounding, auditability, and applying a gut check to AI outputs. A study found that half of performance gains from advanced generative models came from users adapting their prompts. Embedding critical thinking into prompt engineering is essential to maximize AI value in finance.
