Event summary

Curious about what tomorrow holds for the accountancy profession? Join us to step into the future and delve into topics that go beyond the numbers at our upcoming conference.

Through the ICAS ‘Shaping the Profession’ (StP) programme, we are examining the long-term future of accountancy. This must-attend conference marks the first opportunity to discover our fascinating research findings into the evolving needs and expectations of society and learn how the profession can adapt to continue serving the public interest.

These insights will be accompanied by expert thought leadership, as we bring together a panel of industry changemakers to explore the developments in ethical leadership and regulation that will shape the years ahead.

We’ll also hear from BBC radio presenter and author Timandra Harkness for a deep dive into the impact of the technological revolution on the workplace and wider society. This will be followed by a unique opportunity to discuss the challenges, trends and opportunities highlighted with fellow professionals.

You’ll leave feeling connected and empowered to navigate whatever the future brings.
