Moreover, the playbook presents educational pathways aimed at helping members evaluate and enhance their AI competencies, said CA ANZ.

CA ANZ Group Education and Marketing executive Simon Hann said: “The future of accounting will be shaped by those who can bridge human expertise with AI capability.

“This playbook is our blueprint for building that future – one where chartered accountants lead with insight, integrity and innovation.”

In April this year, CA ANZ launched a Certificate in AI Fluency to help accountants develop skills for using genAI in finance.

The certificate curriculum was jointly developed by AI and technology adoption specialist Inbal Rodnay and Peter Williams, chief edge officer at Deloitte Centre for the Edge.

The 20-hour programme included four micro-courses and two workshops led by experts.
