AI is rapidly finding its way into accounting firms, helping with everything from research and document reviews to client communications and compliance. But as adoption accelerates, so do the risks - from convincing but incorrect answers to confidential data ending up in the wrong place. 

Recorded live at Class Ignite 2026, Sean Aylmer speaks with HUB24’s Jason Entwistle and Dr Evan Morrison, and Jayson Nooy from Newhaven Group, about how accountants are actually using AI, where the productivity gains are coming from, the problem of “shadow AI”, and why human judgement remains critical.
