About this Talk

Data scientist, AI expert, long-term strategist, communicator… finance has fundamentally and forever changed, but has our professional training? Has the necessity for accounting qualifications been surpassed by the need for new technical skills? Do we need to upskill or completely reskill? There’s been a paradigm shift, and it's exciting. This session will explore the necessary evolution of the accountancy qualification and discuss its relevance in the modern world.
