Samil PwC launches FRA, an AI accounting and tax assistant for corporate professionals

Samil PwC announced Tuesday the official launch of Finance Risk Adviser (FRA), an integrated AI service for accounting and tax work. To mark the launch, the firm will run a promotional event throughout September offering users additional credits.

FRA combines Samil PwC's accumulated accounting and tax expertise with generative AI technology and PwC's security framework, serving as an AI accounting assistant for corporate professionals. When users upload files such as contracts and financial documents, the service analyzes the content and immediately answers accounting and tax-related questions.

The service was designed to deliver reliable answers suited to the demands of accounting and tax work. Accountants at Samil PwC used it directly in their day-to-day work to verify the quality of its analysis and its practical applicability.

FRA also incorporates multi-agent technology developed in-house by Samil PwC's AX Node unit. It analyzes complex issues systematically by following an expert reasoning process — from identifying issues and searching relevant standards, to applying regulations and drawing conclusions. Companies can access expert-level analysis and judgment at a reasonable cost, with no language barriers.

Key features include diagram visualization of rights and obligations under contracts; citation of judgment grounds and original sources such as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), official interpretations, tax law, rulings and case law; automatic generation of presentation slides from analysis results; simulation of how conclusions change when assumptions or facts are altered; and batch analysis of multiple documents.

The service also incorporates a robust security environment, applying ISO 27001 certification for information security management and enterprise-grade security built on Microsoft Azure cloud. A private large language model (LLM) is used to structurally prevent data from being exposed externally or used for model training.

"Demand is growing to use AI to streamline repetitive and complex tasks in accounting and tax," said Yoon Hoon-soo, chief executive of Samil PwC. "FRA was developed to ease the burden on practitioners making accounting and tax judgments, and we will continue to advance it as an AI service that delivers real value on the ground."

Meanwhile, Samil PwC is expanding the potential for AI adoption in professional services by building a data, AI and expert collaboration framework centered on its AI transformation unit, AX Node. In July, the firm launched an integrated sustainability disclosure platform supporting the entire pre-disclosure process, including materiality assessment, data management and report writing. It is also spreading its AI transformation experience and execution capabilities across the private and public sectors, including by establishing an AI transformation roadmap for the Korea Land and Housing Corporation.
