Manage episode 428060762 series 1918353
Today, Blake and David explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping accounting, discussing its potential to handle 70% of information-based tasks and impact workflows like data collection, reconciliation, and client services. They criticize the current theoretical approach to accounting education, advocating for more practical, hands-on learning experiences. They also dig into the ongoing 150-hour rule debate, examining recent state board initiatives for alternative CPA pathways and concerns about the accounting talent pipeline. Blake and David tackle the recent Evolve cybersecurity breach and its implications for fintech companies and move on to listener feedback and questions.
