New Delhi, May 17: Chartered accountants’ apex body ICAI will embed artificial intelligence, data analytics, and other subjects in its curriculum as it works to keep pace with the evolving technological and professional changes.
Lakhs of students are pursuing chartered accountant programme at the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), which has more than five lakh members.
ICAI President Prasanna Kumar D in an interview to PTI said as technology is taking the front seat now, artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics need to be embedded into the subjects.
The institute has recently formed the Committee for Review of Education and Training (CRET), which is expected to finalise its recommendations, including updates for the curriculum, in the coming months.
“We have formed the CRET. It is working to review the entire curriculum like what syllabus and subject need to be changed and training (articleship),” Kumar said.
Currently, various subjects, including AI, data analytics, ESG, and sustainability are not part of the CA curriculum. (PTI)
