As part of our commitment to thought leadership in the accounting profession, CPA Ontario convened a series of three panels in February and March 2019 to bring together CPAs, industry experts and academic leaders to explore the applications and implications of AI.
Insights gained from those three panels have been complemented by interviews with a range of subject matter experts to inform our latest paper, Evolving Alongside Artificial Intelligence.
INTRODUCTION: RELEVANCE AMID DISRUPTION
AI is already starting to take on data-ingestion tasks on a scale and at a pace that far outstrip anything that humans can do. It is having an effect on revenue forecasting, fraud detection, ledger analyses, tax report writing, and more. The full scope of the applications of AI in our profession will only get bigger from here, as will the implications.
Just as CPAs have always done when managing and maneuvering through change, they need to embrace innovation, to understand AI and learn how it can be used as a tool.
