Topic: AI’s Impact on the Accounting Profession
AI is rapidly transforming the accounting profession but where are the greatest opportunities, and what risks should finance leaders be preparing for today?
Whether you're just beginning to explore AI or already experimenting with it, this interactive session will help you separate hype from reality, understand where AI is delivering measurable value today, and identify the questions every accounting and finance leader should be asking. We'll begin with a live audience poll to gauge current AI adoption.

1. A Brief History of Accounting Innovation
2. What AI Is Good at Today—and Its Current Limitations
3. The Biggest Impact: How AI Is Changing the CFO Role and Practical AI Use Cases
