In collaboration with
Good Governance Academy and AICPA & CIMA bring together professional insight and responsible governance to explore what AI means for the future of finance.
THE CONVERSATION
Big opportunity.
Human responsibility.
The future of finance will be shaped by technology — and by the people who decide how to use it.
Artificial intelligence is changing how accounting and finance professionals work, from analysing information and supporting decisions to assessing risk and informing strategy.
How can the profession make the most of these opportunities while protecting the judgement, ethics and accountability that underpin trust?
Join the Good Governance Academy and AICPA & CIMA for a webinar exploring AI’s growing role in accounting and finance, and what it means for professional relevance, organisational decision-making and responsible adoption.
With Adam Hibbs, we will examine the distinction between automating tasks and augmenting human judgement, the skills finance professionals need, and the ethical and governance questions that organisations should address.
The session will also consider how professional standards and frameworks can guide the use of AI, and how finance professionals can contribute as strategic partners in shaping its implementation.
