AI and the Future of the Global Chartered Accountancy Profession

AI presents one of the biggest opportunities for Chartered Accountants to deliver greater value, shape careers, and create more meaningful roles. But realising its full potential will require leadership from the top and a commitment to continuous upskilling.

This landmark global research study — commissioned by Chartered Accountants Worldwide (CAW) and conducted by Ipsos UK — captures the views, experiences, and expectations of 2,718 respondents across 48 countries, representing 13 Chartered Accountancy bodies, including ISCA.

As co-chair of the CAW Technology Taskforce, ISCA played a key role in driving this study — recognising the need for a global perspective on the state of AI adoption in the accountancy profession. ISCA was also a proud participant in this global study, contributing perspectives to help shape this important conversation on the future of the profession.

What’s inside the report:

· How Chartered Accountants across the world view and use AI today

· Where AI is creating the most value within organisations

· The skills and leadership mindset needed for the future

· Global perspectives from 13 professional Chartered Accountancy institutes — including ISCA

· Insights from senior decision-makers leading AI adoption

Special Focus: Singapore Insights

In addition to the full global report, ISCA has developed a Singapore Snippet — a special summary highlighting key findings and insights from Singapore.
