The premise
Revenue recognition narratives need clear explanations of complex contracts. AI accelerates drafting; finance owns the conclusions and audit defends them.
What AI does well here
- Draft narrative explanations of multi-element arrangements from contract excerpts
- Generate performance-obligation lists for review
- Suggest disclosure language consistent with prior filings
- Summarize how similar deals were treated historically
What AI cannot do
- Make the actual revenue recognition determination
- Replace technical accounting or audit review
- Substitute for control documentation and sign-off
- Interpret novel contract terms without expert input
