Coffee Break PD

This podcast, based on the work of Gerald Trites, FCPA, FCA, CISA, explores how artificial intelligence is transforming the accounting profession—not by replacing accountants, but by reshaping their roles and responsibilities. Trites explains that as AI evolves from basic automation to sophisticated systems capable of learning and creating, accountants must adapt to new tools that enhance decision-making and reduce repetitive tasks. The podcast highlights the growing need for training in data analysis and algorithm evaluation, emphasizes the importance of human-AI orchestration, and addresses the social and ethical challenges that accompany the integration of AI in professional settings. Produced in collaboration with ThinkTWENTY20, the podcast underscores the urgent call for accountants to embrace change and redefine their value in a rapidly digitizing world.
