✨We had a highly engaging and insightful CPE session on the practical use of AI for Chartered Accountants, with a strong focus on how AI can support audit, compliance, reconciliation, GST review, and everyday professional work while preserving human judgment.
The session clearly showed that AI is not a replacement for Chartered Accountants, but a powerful tool to improve efficiency, strengthen analysis, and support better decision-making in a responsible way.
A major takeaway was the importance of using AI safely, especially when handling client data, maintaining confidentiality, documenting review steps, and ensuring that final responsibility remains with the professional.
The speaker, Mr Sankar V S, Director, Digital Services at ARUP, delivered the session in a practical and engaging manner, making complex AI concepts easy to understand through real-world examples and finance-focused use cases.
His presentation was thoughtful and forward-looking, highlighting both the opportunities and risks of AI adoption, and encouraging Chartered Accountants to embrace innovation with ethics, skepticism, and accountability.
Overall, it was an excellent learning experience that combined technical insight with practical relevance, leaving participants better informed about how AI can be applied meaningfully in the CA profession.
