This is transparent nonsense. People are very very happy to introduce errors into excel spreadsheets without any help from AI.
Financial statements are correct because of auditors who check the numbers.
If you have a good audit process then errors get detected even if AI helped introduce them. If you aren't doing a good audit then I suspect nobody cares whether your financial statement is correct (anyone who did would insist on an audit).
It’s like calling out the county to inspect the home you built but when they arrive it’s a bouncy castle.

Volume matters. The single largest problem I run into: AI can generate slop faster than anyone can evaluate it.
If nobody can evaluate it then nobody will sign it off.
