Wolters Kluwer partners with Inscope to launch agentic financial statement preparation in CCH Axcess
New CCH Axcess capability helps accounting firms produce review-ready financial statements faster, with less manual work and stronger quality control
MINNEAPOLIS, October 22, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting today announced a partnership with Inscope, an AI-native platform for financial statement preparation, to deliver a connected agentic audit and financial reporting experience in CCH Axcess. The new capability helps accounting firms draft, review, and finalize financial statements for audits, reviews, and compilations in less time and with greater accuracy, while professional judgment and final sign-off stay with the firm.
Financial statements are among the most visible deliverables of an engagement, yet preparing them and the related disclosures remains one of the most manual parts of the work: rolling forward prior-year statements, formatting tables, footing and tying out every number, and tracking changes across drafts.
“Financial statements are the final deliverable that brings the entire engagement together and communicates its results, so they have to be right,” said Cathy Rowe, Executive Vice President and Segment Leader, U.S. Professional Market, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting. “By bringing agentic financial statement preparation into CCH Axcess, we’re helping firms produce them faster, with greater consistency and traceability, while review and professional judgment stay with the firm. The result is time back for their teams, greater confidence in their work, and a better experience for their clients.”
With agentic financial statement preparation in CCH Axcess, powered by Inscope, firms can:
-
Draft faster: roll forward prior-year statements, footnotes, and generate statements from trial balance data
-
Review with confidence: automatically check footing, cross-footing and internal consistency, identify potential disclosure gaps, and flag issues before review
-
Finalize with full traceability: version history, blacklines and an audit trail that tie every number back to the trial balance
According to Inscope, firms using its solution reach a first draft 70 percent faster and spend 90 percent less time reviewing financial statements.
Connected to the CCH Axcess workflow
For CCH Axcess customers, financial statement preparation is part of the engagement workflow. Firms work from the trial balance and engagement data already in CCH Axcess and keep finished statements with the engagement file, reducing the need to export or rekey data and keeping information consistent through final reporting.
