FloQast Study Reveals Wide Gap Between the AI Ambitions of Accounting Teams and Their Ability to Execute

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FloQast, the Accounting Workflow Automation Platform created by accountants for accountants, today announced the results of a new industry report examining how accounting and finance teams are adopting AI. The findings, based on independent research across accounting and finance professionals in the US and UK, reveal a striking disconnect between AI ambition and execution. While 85% of accounting teams have made AI a strategic priority, only 10% are using it extensively. The study also found that the barriers holding them back have less to do with technology and more to do with trust, training, and governance.

The organizations pulling ahead are not simply the ones with the most advanced tools. They are the ones where leadership made a deliberate decision to build the controls foundation, the governance structure, and the team capability before scaling their AI investment.
