SUMMARY:AI is not the future; how it’s transforming the Accounting profession today
DESCRIPTION: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. \nFrom 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). \nBut 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.
