Event summary
Do you want to help shape the future of accountancy?
As part of our ‘Shaping the Profession’ programme, ICAS has carried out focus groups with members of the public to identify what society needs and wants from the accountancy profession, both today and in the future. Now we want to hear what you, our members, think.
Join us for a unique opportunity to share your own views on this future-facing topic and be among the first to discover the findings from this research.
The sessions will bring together CA peers to engage in fascinating conversations about the role and perceptions of the profession. You’ll also have a chance to voice your perspective on emerging challenges, trends and opportunities – from AI to regulation.
Be a leading representative of the ICAS membership base and play your part in ensuring the longevity of our profession by registering your interest.
