CoE analysis Fits group consolidation, close and disclosure, including AI-based disclosure management and AI-assisted iXBRL tagging. SourceFinancial Close & Consolidation (CCH Tagetik)
CoE analysis Because the vendor's descriptions of agent autonomy differ, a buyer should establish which agent actions post or change data and which stop for approval before relying on them.

Whether Expert AI assists or acts
Statement A
Expert AI acts as an intelligent assistant, but final decisions always remain with your finance team.
wolterskluwer.com/en/solutions/cch-tagetik/ai-powers-cch-tagetik
Statement B
CCH Tagetik AI agents are autonomous software agents … [that] take action across complex, multi-step workflows with minimal human intervention; Finance asks. The platform acts—within boundaries you define.

The first page also carries a heading for agents that do not just assist but act (C-3044). Recorded under D-143; not resolved.
Questions to ask
For this offering
- Which agent actions can change, post or approve data without a person's approval, and where is that boundary configured and logged?
- Your pages describe Expert AI both as an assistant and as autonomous agents; which description governs the contract and the documentation?
- Who performed the EU AI Act minimal-risk assessment you cite, and can we see it?
- Do the SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports cover Expert AI and the agents, and which model providers do they use?
- For consolidation, are eliminations or adjustments proposed by AI traceable to both entities and approved by a person?
From the diligence question set
- DQ-03 Has an independent party reviewed your AI governance or the AI features themselves, and can we see the scope and the result?
- DQ-06 Does each feature suggest or act? Can it create, post, approve or change records, and where is that limit enforced?
- DQ-07 Who can change each feature's configuration, prompts, thresholds, data connections or model: your company, our administrators or individual users? Can we restrict and log those changes?
- DQ-14 Does your service auditor's report cover the AI features we would use, for what period, and which controls does it expect us to operate?
- DQ-29 For intercompany and consolidation: does the feature propose or apply eliminations, reclassifications or consolidating adjustments, and are they traceable to both counterparties and reviewed like other adjustments?
- DQ-30 For close commentary and reporting: are the figures in generated variance explanations, narratives or charts calculated by the system or produced by the model, and can each statement be traced to the records it rests on?
