What is Josi?
Josi is a Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tool created by the AICPA for USA based professionals in Accounting and Auditing specialties. It uses a Large Language Model (LLM) with conversational English in a simple but powerful chat interface.
We created Josi to allow Firms to get access to and interact with our Authoritative Guidance and Standards utilising the latest technology available in the marketplace.
Josi will provide Auditing and Accounting professionals with the whole of the AICPA's Online Professional Library (40,000 pieces of material) on Auditing and Accounting, moving with the times of today's finance and accounting needs.
Why is it called Josi?
The name Josi comes from a famous English potter - Josiah Wedgwood, Josiah Wedgwood - Wikipedia, who invented what we now call Cost Accounting.
What can Josi do for me?
Josi accesses the entire Online Professional Library in real-time. It ensures you are always up to date with the latest changes and allows you to prepare for upcoming changes. You can ask it research questions, use it to train staff to self-serve, get direct access to templates such as Engagement letters and even ask it to plan how to implement new standards. The primary role is to assist Accounting and Auditing professionals in their daily work by providing information and guidance on performing accounting tasks in alignment with auditing standards.
Here's how Josi works:
Research and Information Retrieval: Josi can search through various documents and sources to find relevant information on audit and accounting standards. This includes understanding the standards, requirements, guides, and procedures outlined in the Online Professional Library.
Contextual Assistance: When you provide a specific context or scenario, Josi uses the information within that context to give accurate and relevant answers. This ensures that responses are tailored to your specific needs.
Professional Guidance: Josi provides professional yet encouraging guidance to help you understand and apply audit and accounting standards effectively. The goal is to support you in performing your tasks accurately and efficiently.
