Powering KPMG Audit’s AI Future with Databricks

What does it take to turn a complex audit estate into an AI‑ready lakehouse in months, enabling auditors to move faster without losing trust? KPMG migrated nearly 400 SQL Server scripts into Databricks SQL in three months using lakehouse patterns, Lakebridge, and AI‑assisted refactoring — cutting manual effort while maintaining audit‑grade governance, lineage and performance. This session unpacks the blueprint: unified governance on Delta, SQL Serverless to handle extreme peak‑season demand and secure cross‑entity data access built for regulated environments. A focused enablement program onboarded 200+ users rapidly, embedding modern engineering practices and an AI‑first mindset. Finally, we’ll explore how this platform now powers AI/BI Genie and Lakeflow Designer, putting governed natural‑language and low‑code analytics directly into the hands of citizen analysts and front‑line auditors.
