Insights on AI & Technology
Diploma in Data Analytics and AI
Helps finance and business professionals develop the skills to analyse data, apply AI tools, and turn insights into better business decisions. No technical or programming background is required, making it ideal for professionals looking to confidently use data, automation, and AI in their roles.
Two topics sit at the heart of this episode of the Accountancy Insights Podcast from The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales: the growing role of artificial intelligence agents in audit work, and an emerging regulatory blind spot in so-called prediction markets.
Stablecoins have moved quickly from the edges of financial innovation into the heart of mainstream policy debate. Central banks are studying them, payments firms are building with them, and legislators are drafting frameworks around them.
High-level considerations and prompts to help Chartered Accountants and those responsible for governance think about the basics: where AI is being used, the potential implications for trust, and the key questions to consider when adopting or overseeing AI-enabled activities.
Chartered Accountants Embracing AI & Technology
Digital disruption is reshaping industries, driven by emerging technologies and evolving business models. It’s not just change—it’s an opportunity. While some traditional approaches may need to evolve, those who embrace innovation can turn disruption into success.
The term “disruption” is used because new technologies, products, services and even whole new business sectors make re-evaluating the way we do business unavoidable. Some old patterns will have to change, but this can be positive if we embrace it and allow it to contribute to our success.
Fighting the wave of technology is impossible, but riding it puts you ahead. By staying agile, adopting new ways of working, and anticipating customer needs, businesses can thrive in a rapidly shifting landscape—keeping clients engaged and unlocking new opportunities.

Season 4 of Difference Makers Discuss covered a lot of ground. Six guests, six very different lives, and on the face of it not much in common beyond a professional qualification and a willingness to talk honestly. Watch them back to back, and something else emerges. Every one of these stories turns on the same thing: the decision to connect with another human being when it would have been easier not to.
In the latest episode of Difference Makers Discuss, host Sinead Donovan sat down with Nick, co-founder and CEO of Invigilator App, for a wide-ranging conversation that touched on educational equity, the ethics of AI, entrepreneurship, and why the Chartered Accountancy qualification might just be the best-kept secret in tech. It’s a conversation packed with insights that are as relevant to the boardroom as they are to the lecture hall.
Alongside IFAC’s recent Professional Accountants in Business (PAIB) Advisory Group meeting, we co-hosted a special side event in collaboration with Chartered Accountants Worldwide (CAW) Network USA at Fordham University.
