AI is not the future; how it’s transforming the Accounting profession today

According to the recent report commissioned by Sage and ACCA, accountants and bookkeepers are feeling optimistic when it comes to AI. 61% of responders believe AI will create more opportunities than risks and 68% are confident on how they will adapt.

From enhancing client communication to automating routine tasks and generating data insights to improve cashflow; AI is set to become a driving force within the profession, unlocking significant value to the UK Economy (potentially adding £2bn over the next 3 years).

But what does that mean for accountants? In this session, Sage will present their vision for where audit, assurances and trust are continuous, not locked monthly cycles. A future where accountants can access real-time, up-to-date information on business performance that fosters more strategic decision making.
