To mark the launch of its new position paper, An Empowered Profession—AI and the Future of Accountancy, the Institute hosted a Chartered Roundtable event on Wednesday 20 May with Deputy Malcolm Byrne, TD, Chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence.

Attendees also heard from Rosemary Keogh, Chief Executive, Chartered Accountants Ireland (pictured here, right, at the event with Deputy Byrne), who gave an overview of the Institute’s position paper and hosted a Q&A discussion.

Members present had the opportunity to engage directly on the impact of AI on accountancy, its role in transforming business and the economy, and how public policy and professional leadership must evolve together. The event was the fourth in the Institute’s series Trusted Business Leadership: The Chartered Roundtables.
