62% of financial services professionals say an AI-generated error has reached a client

Published

By

New Macabacus report finds AI adoption has outpaced the guardrails needed to keep client-facing models and documents accurate.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Macabacus, the leading M365 productivity platform for finance and professional services teams, today released the report: GenAI for Financial Services: Velocity and Verification. The report finds that AI now sits at the core of model creation and client presentation development, but most firms lack the review and verification layer needed to catch AI-generated errors before they reach clients.

New Macabacus report finds AI adoption has outpaced the guardrails to keep client-facing models and documents accurate

Drawing on a survey of Macabacus’ 75,000 users and analysis of conversations with hundreds of clients and prospects, the report quantifies the gap between how fast AI is being adopted and how slowly firms are building guardrails to ensure their clients can trust their deal content.

“AI is now involved in the majority of models and documents that reach clients, with 87% of firms saying they use AI daily or weekly for this work,” said Paul Ross, Chief Marketing Officer, Macabacus. “Deal teams should not slow down their use of AI. They need guardrails that let them move faster while maintaining accuracy and their clients’ trust. That is what Macabacus is built for.”

Key findings include:

62% of respondents believe an AI-generated error has reached a client or internal decision-maker in the past 12 months, with 46% saying an error has “probably” landed in a deliverable without anyone catching it.87% use AI daily or weekly to generate financial models and client presentations, but only 23% have comprehensive guardrails (approved tools, accuracy checks, brand compliance, and review workflows) in place.AI has created a divergence in confidence at the review handoff stage for models and presentations: 43% of analysts and associates say AI has made them more confident in their work, while only 29% VPs, directors, and MDs state the same. That leadership group is also 6 points more likely to say AI has made them less confident.

NGP VAN Overhauls Bulk Upload, Making a Critical Campaign Workflow Faster and Easier

Published

New experience catches errors before imports begin and reduces the manual work required to bring data into NGP VAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NGP VAN, the leading technology provider for Democratic and progressive campaigns, today announced major improvements to Bulk Upload, making one of the platform’s most frequently used workflows faster, more intuitive, and less prone to errors.

The improved Bulk Upload experience addresses longstanding pain points for campaign staff and data managers. The new workflow automatically detects the file type, identifies formatting and matching issues before an import runs, and intelligently maps spreadsheet columns to the appropriate fields in NGP VAN.

“Bulk upload is something we do constantly, and the struggle has always been real,” said Laurie Van Hall, Partner at Bee Compliance. “Smarter column mapping and catching errors up front before the import runs is the kind of upgrade that actually changes how a day goes. Really glad to see NGP VAN tackling this one.”

The improvements arrive as campaigns and organizations head into the busiest stretch of the election cycle, when the volume and urgency of critical data moving into NGP and VAN peaks. By surfacing potential issues before an import begins and reducing repetitive manual mapping, the redesigned workflow helps users spend less time troubleshooting uploads and more time acting on their data.

“The new Bulk Upload workflow lowers the learning curve for new NGP VAN users,” said Candy Emmons, Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Oregon. “With new people joining our team throughout the cycle, making these tools more intuitive helps staff become confident, independent users much more quickly.”

The updated experience includes:

Automatic file-type detection that eliminates the need for users to manually identify the data type they’re importing.Pre-validation checks that surface formatting and matching issues before an import runs.Improved column mapping that automatically matches spreadsheet columns to NGP VAN fields and reduces repetitive setup.A redesigned upload experience, with streamlined opening steps, a cleaner mapping screen, and a refreshed status page built on a modernized foundation.

“We’re hyperfocused on our users and how we can make their jobs easier every single day. Nearly every user I’ve spoken with has had something to say about Bulk Upload – and rarely was it good,” said Francis Brown, Senior Product Manager at NGP VAN. “We listened, pulled together a team, and went after the things that were creating the most frustration. This is exactly the kind of investment we want to make in the core NGP VAN experience – improving the workflows our users rely on every day. The response from beta testers has been incredibly encouraging, and I’m excited for users to get their hands on the new experience. “

The improved Bulk Upload experience does not change existing upload specifications, data models, field mappings, access permissions, or supported file formats. It will be optional at launch, and the existing Bulk Upload workflow will remain available.

About NGP VAN
NGP VAN is the winningest technology platform in the history of democratic and progressive causes, working tirelessly to innovate and advance the technology our clients rely on to bolster our democracy. A proud unionized employer, we help power the trailblazers, campaigners, and advocates fighting up and down the ticket for equality, racial justice, reproductive freedom, democracy, climate reform, and more—including the national Democratic committees and progressive organizations, thousands of Democratic campaigns, hundreds of labor unions, advocacy organizations, progressive and non-partisan PACs, and other organizations.
