The accountancy profession is being reshaped by artificial intelligence (AI). The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (Isca) recently hosted a workshop with OpenClaw Singapore on AI agents, which highlighted the need for accountants to develop skills and confidence to work effectively with AI. Accounting requires judgment, context, and interpretation, making full automation challenging.

Accountants must proactively develop skills to work with AI to avoid being unprepared for the changing profession.
