From Compliance to Clarity

Here's how generative AI transforms financial data into strategic intelligence

Many association executives sit on decades’ worth of strategic intelligence — and barely use it.

IRS Form 990 and audited financial statements are public, structured and richly detailed; yet, most organizations treat them as compliance artifacts rather than decision-making tools.

This article shows how a structured prompting system, applied to Form 990 and audit data, can generate executive-ready briefings tailored to roles like CIO, CFO or board chair. Through persona-aware prompts, structured prompt design and cross-model testing, associations can turn overlooked data into an asset for strategic onboarding, planning and governance.
