The Anticipatory Accountant

What if we could see into the future? What if today we could know the events and forces that will shape our profession? What if we could design learning and development programs to not only prepare accountants for today’s challenges but also to anticipate tomorrow’s challenges?

This November, IFAC will explore these questions at its virtual global summit, The Anticipatory Accountant: Global Trends Transforming Learning & Development. Coinciding with International Education Week, this four-day, multi-disciplinary panel series will run from 7-9 am EDT each day on November 16-19, 2020.

Opening with world-renowned futurist Daniel Burrus and special guest Tom Hood, and featuring exceptional speakers including Noah Baalesanvu, Safoora Biglari, Paul Druckman, and Mervyn King, the summit will explore three key forces likely to transform the accountancy profession: technology, environment, and society.
