AIA Examiners Conference 2026: Driving Excellence in Accountancy Education
2026年AIA会计师考试委员会大会:推动会计教育的卓越发展
The 2026 AIA Examiners Conference brought together examiners, Council Members, and distinguished guests to explore how AIA qualifications can continue to reflect the dynamic field of accounting and finance. The event provided a forum to examine the profession’s most pressing opportunities and risks while reinforcing AIA’s commitment to delivering world-class accountancy education.
2026年国际会计师公会（AIA）审查员大会汇聚了审查员、理事会成员及贵宾，共同探讨如何让AIA资格认证持续反映会计与金融这一蓬勃发展的领域。本次活动搭建了探讨会计行业最紧迫机遇与风险的平台，同时彰显AIA致力于提供世界一流会计教育的坚定承诺。
A key theme of the conference was the impact of emerging technologies on the accounting and finance sector. Professor Crawford Spence (King’s College London) challenged the popular narrative that AI will replace accountants. Drawing on six years of research in audit and tax across the UK and Canada, he demonstrated that while AI streamlines processes, it does not replace the need for professional judgement, ethics, and relational expertise. Professor Spence concluded that the future of accounting is “evolution, not revolution,” affirming the importance of an education that balances technical and digital skills with critical thinking and ethical decision-making.
本次会议的核心议题聚焦新兴技术对会计与金融领域的影响。伦敦国王学院的克劳福德·斯宾斯教授对“人工智能将取代会计师”的流行论调提出质疑。基于在英国和加拿大开展的六年审计与税务研究，他指出尽管人工智能能优化流程，但专业判断力、职业道德和人际交往能力仍是不可或缺的。斯宾斯教授总结称，会计行业的未来是“渐进式发展而非颠覆性变革”，强调教育体系应平衡技术技能与数字素养，同时注重培养批判性思维和道德决策能力。
Sustainability reporting was another central topic of the conference. Professor Colin Dey (University of Dundee) explored the arrival of IFRS standards for the disclosure of sustainability and climate-related information, describing it as a major step in the mainstreaming and mandating of sustainability reporting. He emphasised both the challenges and opportunities this presents for the industry, stressing the need for qualifications that equip accountants with the full range of skills and competencies required to engage with the sustainability agenda.
可持续发展报告是本次会议的另一核心议题。邓迪大学科林·戴教授深入探讨了 IFRS 可持续发展与气候相关信息披露标准的出台，指出这是推动可持续发展报告主流化和强制实施的重要里程碑。他着重分析了该标准给行业带来的挑战与机遇，强调必须建立专业资质认证体系，使会计师掌握应对可持续发展议程所需的全方位技能与专业能力。
AIA continues to integrate these competencies into its qualifications, future-proofing its curriculum not only for sustainable and ethical leadership but also for the evolving technological landscape, ensuring members are equipped to navigate AI-driven tools and innovations confidently.
AIA持续将这些核心能力融入资质认证体系，通过构建面向未来的课程体系，既培养可持续发展与道德领导力，又适应技术环境的持续演进，确保会员能够从容驾驭人工智能驱动的工具与创新。
In addition to the keynote presentations, Tony Sharples (BPP) delivered an engaging workshop session on updates to AIA Learning Materials and the Syllabus, while Tracey Wilson, AIA Chief Examiner, outlined updates to the Professional Qualification. These discussions provided examiners with insights into the continued progression of AIA qualifications and the tools required to maintain the highest standards in accountancy education.
除主题演讲外， BPP 托尼·夏普尔斯还就AIA学习材料和课程大纲的更新进行了生动的研讨会，而AIA首席考官特蕾西·威尔逊则介绍了专业资格认证的最新修订。这些讨论使考官们深入了解了AIA资格认证的持续发展，以及维持会计教育最高标准所需的工具。
Among the attendees were AIA examiners and Council Members, including AIA President Shahram Moallemi, Vice Presidents Philip Ford and Linda Richards. Special guests included David Ririmasse, Rhiannon Soper (FRC), and Collins Ntim (BAFA President), all of whom contributed to discussions throughout the day.
