Inside the Optro Acquisition of Midship
Guru Sethupathy interviews Kieran Taylor, CEO and co-founder of Midship, about their AI agents that automate end-to-end SOX control testing, the recent acquisition by Optro, and real-world results like 70% time savings in year one.
They discuss product fit, governance and transparency concerns (including hallucinations and confidence scoring), how Midship integrates with existing audit workflows, and how AI will shift auditors toward more continuous, managerial oversight.
