Deloitte admits AI errors in $440K audit

🚨 Our Report

Financial services giant Deloitte will partially refund the Australian government for a $440,000 AUD ($290,000 USD) 237-page report, which reviewed the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations’ IT systems, because it contained fabricated quotes, non-existent academic references, and other AI-generated errors.

🔓 Key Points

Sydney University researcher, Chris Rudge, exposed 20 inaccuracies, including a fake court judgment and citations for non-existent publications, and told the media the report was “full of fabricated references.”
Although the original report (published in July) failed to disclose that AI had been used to write it, Deloitte's revised version (published last week) does state that Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI tool was used.
Deloitte confirmed that “some footnotes and references were incorrect” in the original document, but maintained that the report’s core findings were unchanged. Despite this, it has “agreed to repay the final installment.”

🔐 Relevance

Expert lawmakers are calling the mistakes an “inappropriate misuse of AI,” with some demanding that Deloitte refund the full amount as it misrepresented legal compliance in a government-trusted audit, which is unacceptable. This just further highlights the need for disclosure when using AI, continuous human oversight, and strict quality controls when creating public or consumer-facing content.

How AI boosted process efficiency by 15%

Logistics company, CH Robinson, couldn’t respond to shipping rate quote requests quickly enough, meaning they were losing customers to rivals.
Their processes were manual and slow, and they were experiencing bottlenecks due to the volume and complexity of the rate requests.
They integrated AI tools into their quoting system, which processed the requests, interpreted details, and auto-generated rate options.
As a result, quoting times dropped to 32 seconds per request, and they were able to respond to customers 15% quicker.
