AI Verified The quote is authentic and correctly attributed to Scott Flynn: it appears verbatim in KPMG’s official U.S. press release dated April 23, 2025, introduced as “said Scott Flynn, KPMG US Vice Chair - Audit.” However, the specific global KPMG URL you provided contains a similar but not identical version, using wording like “KPMG firms’ auditors” and “KPMG professionals” instead of “our auditors” and “our professionals.” ([kpmg.com](https://kpmg.com/us/en/media/news/kpmg-clara-smart-audit-platform.html)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago
AI Verified Verified quote attributed to Scott Flynn of KPMG. The kpmg.com URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed KPMG's April 2025 press release "KPMG advances AI integration in KPMG Clara smart audit platform" quotes Flynn with the verbatim text: "We're continuing to build out our AI capabilities with increasingly sophisticated agents in KPMG Clara to enable our auditors to more effectively respond to risks and deliver deeper audit insights. As we accelerate our adoption of this innovative technology and deploy new capabilities, we are maintaining a high level of professional skepticism and upskilling our professionals to drive trust in the capital markets." Year (2025) is current/acceptable. Source URL is KPMG's own press release — the primary source. Author attribution confirmed (Scott Flynn; note reporting describes him as "KPMG US Vice Chair – Audit," which differs slightly from the stored bio "Global Head of Audit, KPMG International," but the quote is correctly his). Vote alignment: the statement is "Regulated industries should prohibit AI from making autonomous decisions where fiduciary duty applies"; the press release stresses that "auditors are in control of the decision-making process" with AI handling data-intensive tasks while maintaining professional skepticism — i.e., AI assists rather than autonomously decides in a profession with public-trust duties — consistent with a "for" vote. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 1mo ago
