KPMG is shifting rote audit work to AI agents, with the expectation that AI agents could handle roughly 20–30% of a standard financial audit by 2029.

Along with cost and time savings, this means junior roles are shifting to:

- supervising agent outputs
- investigating exceptions
- applying judgment where more critical thinking is needed.
