Auditability RequiredRegulatory Context: ICAEW & Accountancy Europe Guidance
Accountancy Europe has published guidance on AI governance for the profession, emphasising the need for ethical frameworks and human oversight in AI-assisted decision-making.
ICAEW has highlighted the ethical considerations of AI in accounting, including data quality, bias in automated systems, and the professional responsibility to maintain competence when deploying AI tools.
The EU AI Act introduces a new compliance layer on top of existing professional obligations. Accounting firms using AI for auditing, tax, or client assessment must align with both ICAEW/ACCA standards and AI Act requirements.
