AI Governance for Accountants - What You Need to Have in Place

Course outline:

Expectations on how firms use AI are changing quickly. These expectations apply across the profession and most firms need to consider what a proportionate governance structure looks like at their scale. Any firm where more than one person is making decisions about AI needs a shared understanding of what colleagues can and cannot do, what to say to clients and where the risks lie. This webinar sets out what appropriate governance looks like in practice, and the specific steps to take now.
