Overview  

Generative Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the way accounting practices operate from drafting technical documentation and conducting research to improving client communication and workflow efficiency. When applied correctly, Generative AI can significantly reduce administrative burden, improve consistency and quality of outputs, and enable accountants to focus on higher-value professional and advisory work. However, its use also introduces important considerations around professional judgment, ethics, confidentiality, and governance. 

This webinar provides a practical and profession-specific exploration of how Generative AI can be responsibly integrated into accounting practices. Attendees will gain clarity on where AI delivers the greatest value, how to identify low-risk, high-impact use cases, and how to implement appropriate safeguards to ensure compliance with professional and ethical standards. The session balances opportunity with responsibility, equipping practitioners with actionable insights rather than theoretical concepts. 

Join Nestene Botha CA(SA) on 20 January 2026, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, as she guides accounting professionals through the practical application of Generative AI to enhance efficiency, consistency, and quality of work — while maintaining professional accountability and ethical integrity.
