Rapports de Conseil par l'IA : Réduire les cycles de semaines à jours
Par Delos Intelligence — 2026-08-25
Board pack preparation takes 3-6 weeks and 120 hours manually. AI workers cut this to 4 days and 22 hours while achieving 98% data source coverage.
The Board Reporting Bottleneck: When Weeks Is Not Fast Enough
Corporate secretaries and CFOs at global enterprises spend 3-6 weeks per quarter preparing board packs. Data must be manually extracted from 8-15 systems, narratives written from scratch, and multiple review cycles completed. By the time the pack reaches board members, some data is already 6-8 weeks stale.
How AI Transforms Board Reporting
1. Automated Data Aggregation from ERP and BI Systems
AI workers connect directly to SAP, Oracle, Workday, Salesforce, and Power BI. They automatically pull KPIs, financial statements, operational metrics, and risk indicators according to the board pack template. Data coverage increases from 55% (manual) to 98% of relevant sources.
2. Narrative Generation for Board Packs
LLM-based narrative engines draft executive summaries, variance analyses, and strategic commentary from structured data. CFOs report that AI-generated narratives require only minor editing in 78% of cases, saving 80-100 hours per reporting cycle.
3. Variance Analysis and Exception Highlighting
AI workers automatically identify significant variances, correlate them with operational drivers, and draft explanatory commentary. The system flags items requiring board attention vs routine performance updates.
4. Governance-Grade Auditability
Every data point, calculation, and narrative statement is traceable to its source system with complete data lineage. Audit-ready documentation complies with SOX, FRC Governance Code, and local corporate governance requirements.
