Friday 3rd July 2026 9.00am – 12.00pm
Our seventh accredited CPD course of 2026, delivered in conjunction with leading training provider Tolley and aimed at professional advisers, takes place on Friday 3rd July.
Professional services firms are under constant pressure to work smarter, deliver greater value and operate more efficiently. Both finance and legal teams often spend significant time on manual processes, document review, research, compliance and data analysis. Modern AI tools offer an opportunity to transform how these functions operate.
For accountants, AI can automate time consuming tasks while virtual assistants can summarise reports and identify trends in seconds. For lawyers, AI can accelerate contract review and drafting and analyse large volumes of information.
This session explores how conversational AI platforms can streamline workflows, improve productivity and enhance decision making.
We are delighted to welcome Dr Stephen Hill to deliver this session which broadly covers:
- AI basics for accountants and lawyers
- Using AI tools (Microsoft Copilot & ChatGPT)
- Automating finance, compliance and legal tasks
- AI for research and knowledge discovery (Google Gemini)
- Document analysis, drafting and summarisation
- AI governance, risk and regulatory considerations
- Implementing AI in your firm
By shifting routine and repetitive work to AI, accountants and lawyers can dedicate more time to strategic planning, client relationships, problem solving, risk management and business growth. AI does not replace professional expertise – it amplifies it.
The event will take place virtually on Zoom. All our courses are free to attend and delegates qualify for three hours of structured CPD*.
*Please note, CPD not available if watching a recording of the webinar on demand.
