DataSnipper AI Report 2024

AMSTERDAM, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — DataSnipper, the leading intelligent automation platform for audit and finance professionals, today released its new AI Report 2024. This in-depth report explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on the audit and finance industry, providing a comprehensive analysis of how AI is revolutionizing workflows, enhancing productivity, and improving job satisfaction across the sector.

AI Will Not Replace Auditors, But Empower Them

The audit and finance industry is in the midst of a significant transformation, driven by the rapid adoption of AI technologies. After introducing a new suite to automate data extraction from documents at scale using AI, DataSnipper’s AI Report 2024 captures key trends and insights from over 150 industry professionals, offering a well-rounded perspective on AI adoption.

Turbocharging Efficiency: AI as a Game-Changer

A striking 77% of auditors now trust AI to deliver quality and efficiency in their roles, a notable increase from 74% in last year’s report. This growing trust underscores the reliability and effectiveness of AI in enhancing audit processes. As one survey participant shared, “AI has really earned our trust. It has boosted the accuracy in our work so much. It’s like having an extra teammate we can always count on.”

AI continues to transform the audit landscape by automating repetitive tasks, allowing professionals to focus on more complex and strategic work. An impressive 88% of respondents reported that AI helps reduce the time spent on manual tasks, up from 86% last year. The efficiency gains are undeniable, with AI enabling faster data analysis and streamlined workflows. One auditor shared, “AI has reduced our data processing time by half, allowing us to dedicate more time to client interactions and strategic planning.”

Retaining Talent: The AI Advantage

AI is proving to be a crucial factor in retaining top talent. This year, 80% of participants indicated they would be more inclined to stay at a firm with strong AI initiatives. This finding highlights the importance of AI in creating a modern, efficient work environment that appeals to younger professionals. “Knowing my firm invests in AI makes me feel valued and future-ready,” said a young auditor.

AI’s impact extends beyond work efficiency to improving work-life balance. In 2024, 63% of respondents said AI helps them achieve a better balance, a significant increase from 46% last year. AI is making auditing a more enjoyable and less stressful profession, enhancing overall job satisfaction. One respondent noted, “AI helps improve my work-life balance by cutting down on the time I spend on repetitive tasks. It has made a huge difference in my overall happiness.”

Adoption in Progress: Room for Growth

Busy seasons are becoming less daunting with AI on board. This year, 81% of survey respondents reported increased efficiency during peak periods thanks to AI, up from 68% last year. AI not only saves time but also reduces errors, ensuring higher quality work under tight deadlines. “AI has been a lifesaver during the busy season. It handles the grunt work, so we can focus on critical analysis and reporting,” remarked an auditor.

While many professionals are leveraging AI, there is still significant room for broader adoption. Currently, the largest group of respondents reported that less than 25% of all employees benefit from using AI. Firms are encouraged to continue training their staff and integrating AI technologies to stay competitive and fully realize AI’s potential.

Strategic Investment: Leading with AI

Looking ahead, 88% of our survey respondents anticipate significant advancements and increased implementation of AI tools in their firms over the next 24 months. This projected growth underscores the industry’s recognition of AI’s value and the commitment to integrating these technologies for improved efficiency, accuracy, and strategic insights.

Investment in AI by Partner and C-level executives is on the rise, with 70% indicating their firms are willing to invest in AI over the next 12 months. This commitment to innovation is critical for long-term success in the audit and finance industry.

“The 2024 AI Report clearly illustrates that AI is here to stay, making significant improvements to the audit and finance profession -from boosting efficiency and retaining talent to improving work-life balance. Businesses that embrace AI are not only future-proofing their operations but also fostering more satisfied and productive workforces,” says DataSnipper CEO Vidya Peters.

New Talogy InView Leadership® helps organisations assess, select and develop leaders at every level

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In response to rising demand for agile, people-centric leaders in an increasingly volatile, tech-driven landscape, global talent management provider, Talogy, has updated its InView Leadership solution. 

Based on decades of experience in leadership assessments, the comprehensive, evidence-based framework evaluates not just what leaders do, but how leaders lead, and why they lead.

As organisations prepare for the future, their leaders need to balance the competing demands of driving transformation and creating stability. With traditional assessments often focusing on what a leader should do, InView Leadership takes a transformational approach, providing a modern definition of effective leadership.

Taking an ‘inside-out’ approach, the solution provides a holistic understanding of the multidimensional leader, across three integrated layers:

Identity: Explaining why leaders lead the way they do by examining the values, motivations and beliefs that underpin their priorities, decisions and overall approach.Emotional intelligence: Influencing how leaders express their leadership, understand themselves, respond to others and perform under pressure.Leadership qualities: Revealing what leaders do by outlining the essential behaviours required for modern leadership based on the challenges they face.

Designed for a constantly evolving workplace, the InView methodology underpins psychometrics, assessment centres, development programmes and coaching to form an integrated leadership ecosystem. 

Explaining this further, Dan Hughes, VP of Product Development at Talogy, said, “This scientifically grounded framework establishes a common language across leadership assessment, development and strategy. InView’s multi-faceted approach enables organisations to consistently assess potential, accelerate development and equip empathetic, future-ready leaders at every level.”

The enhanced InView solution draws on Talogy’s 25 years of leadership assessment and development experience in the Middle East, a milestone the company celebrates this month. Sharan Gohel, Senior Director of Consulting for the region, acknowledged the milestone, saying, “This achievement is significant as we are proud to continue bringing world-class talent solutions to the Gulf region. The advancements of the InView solution demonstrate Talogy’s ongoing commitment to combining innovative technological developments with deep talent expertise to meet the evolving needs of our clients.”

AI-powered simulations 

The updated solution also introduces an immersive, innovative way to explore capability for the first time using realistic, AI-powered simulations. 

Marking the first jointly developed exercise since Talogy’s partnership with Symulate, the offering combines conversational AI, voice and interactive personas to bring immersive leadership scenarios to life for real-world development. 

This new capability allows organizations to deepen insight into leadership qualities, understand areas of strength to leverage and uncover ongoing development opportunities.

Commenting on the solution, Alan Bourne, CEO and Founder at Symulate said, “By fusing our conversational AI and interactive personas with the robust InView framework, Talogy is able to deliver highly realistic scenarios. This gives leaders a safe, immersive space to hone their skills, while providing organisations with actionable insights into their true development opportunities.”

Dinto Solar Earns Thailand’s First Mandatory TISI Certification for HJT PV Module Makers

Published

on

By

BEIJING, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dinto Solar, a global pioneer in heterojunction (HJT) technology, has earned mandatory certification from the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) for its solar modules. The company is among the first photovoltaic (PV) module makers worldwide to qualify under Thailand’s new requirements and the first dedicated HJT module maker to receive the certification.

Thailand’s compulsory safety requirements for crystalline silicon PV modules took effect on October 30, 2026. Modules imported for sale must comply with the applicable Thai standard and be covered by a TISI license. The approval strengthens Dinto Solar’s readiness to serve local customers as regulatory compliance becomes essential to market access.

Certification was granted under TIS 61730 Part 2-2567, aligned with IEC 61730-2:2023, covering electrical insulation, fire safety and mechanical strength. TISI auditors inspected Dinto Solar’s manufacturing facilities in Longgang and Suining, China, reviewing quality management, production controls, supply chains and traceability. The company’s modules, developed and manufactured in-house, passed the assessment on the first application.

The certified portfolio spans 33 power ratings from 455 W to 770 W, supporting residential rooftops, commercial and industrial (C&I) installations and utility-scale solar plants. This range gives Thai developers and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors greater flexibility in product selection and system design.

For businesses with limited rooftop space, HJT’s high efficiency supports greater power generation per square meter. Dinto Solar’s G12-132 module features a superior temperature coefficient of −0.24%/°C to limit heat-related power loss. Butyl sealing and coated dual glass further improve moisture resistance and durability, supporting reliable energy yield in Thailand’s hot, humid climate.

JJ Energy Company Limited, Dinto Solar’s exclusive partner in Thailand, holds the local import licenses. The companies’ 2026–2027 agreement, announced in September, includes an initial 30 MW order for G12-132 HJT modules for Thai C&I rooftops. Certification enables the partners to advance import arrangements, customs clearance and distribution in preparation for delivery.

With certified products and local market capabilities in place, Dinto Solar is strengthening its position in Thailand while expanding its presence across Southeast Asia. The company will continue working with regional partners to bring high-efficiency HJT solutions to more projects, focusing on reliable performance, long-term energy yield and customer value.
