I am conducting an independent study on the impact of AI on audit procedures, with a particular focus on agentic AI (AI agents). I would value perspectives from accounting and audit professionals who are following or working with these developments.
What knowledge and skills related to AI and emerging technologies should future CPAs possess? What upskilling is needed by current CPAs?
I would particularly appreciate perspectives from practitioners who are seeing these developments firsthand or are involved in AI governance, audit methodology, standard-setting, or implementation.
