In the Know: Industry 5.0 Essentials for CPAs: Beyond Automation VIRTUAL

Industry 5.0 represents a transformative evolution in accounting, anchored by three foundational pillars: human centricity, sustainability, and resilience. These pillars guide innovation beyond efficiency, focusing on amplifying human creativity, fostering environmental stewardship, and building systems that can withstand disruption. For CPAs, Industry 5.0 brings both opportunities and critical challenges. Accountants must address workforce skill gaps, confront inherent algorithmic bias, and manage the persistent burden of technical debt accumulated over decades of IT evolution. This workshop prepares participants to navigate these complexities by leveraging agentic AI and human-centric design to build sustainable, resilient, and future-ready accounting practices.
