Bora Senyigit - Associate Professor of Accounting at King’s College

Artificial intelligence is a powerful innovation that is rapidly transforming the accounting and auditing profession. As AI systems take on increasingly complex tasks, from data analysis to risk assessment, the role of the accountant is shifting. This session will explore how AI may replace professionals who lack the skills to work alongside it, while creating new opportunities for those who embrace it. AI literacy is becoming essential, not optional. To prepare future professionals, accounting education must evolve by rethinking curriculum, pedagogy, and skill development. This session will also highlight real-life cases that illustrate how AI is being applied in accounting practice and how educational institutions are responding to these changes.
