[The China Securities Association launches a survey on the application of financial digital intelligence among securities companies, and the five-stage coordinate outlines the path to smart finance] On November 14, reporters learned from the industry that the Securities Association of China recently issued a notice to various securities companies to conduct a survey on the application of financial digital intelligence, aiming to systematically understand the current status of financial digital intelligence application in the industry, summarize advanced experience, analyze problems and challenges, and provide reference for the industry to deepen the construction of financial digital intelligence, improve the quality and efficiency of financial accounting, and promote the upgrading of financial functions. It is worth noting that the digital transformation of securities firms is advancing from front-office businesses such as wealth management and investment research to middle and back-office departments such as finance, compliance, risk control, and operations. Financial digitalization is the epitome of this trend. The questionnaire system outlines the stage coordinates of financial digital intelligence and divides the construction level into five progressive stages: financial informatization, financial digitization, financial intelligence pilot exploration, financial intelligence large-scale application, and financial intelligence deep integration. It starts with online accounting, gradually opens up data, realizes integrated applications such as management cockpits, and then introduces AI in individual scenarios, stable applications in multiple scenarios, and finally achieves full-process automation and intelligent decision support.
