PPCS Attending Festival of Accounting & Bookkeeping 2026 | Free AI Governance Check
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday work inside accounting firms. But in many practices, AI adoption has moved faster than governance.
Tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and AI features embedded within accounting software are already helping firms draft communications, analyse information and improve productivity.
That is exactly why we have created a Free AI Governance Check for Accounting Firms — designed to help firms quickly identify potential risks and understand the governance expectations that are emerging around the use of AI in professional services.

Why AI Governance Matters for Accounting Firms
Many firms are already using AI tools for tasks such as:
📋 Summarising information
📂 Analysing documents
⚡ Improving internal productivity
However, these tools can introduce new governance risks — particularly around confidentiality, accuracy and responsible usage.
Questions Firms Should Be Asking
Are staff using AI tools with client data?
Are AI outputs reviewed before being used in client work?
Does the firm have an AI acceptable use policy?
Who is responsible for AI governance within the firm?
These are exactly the types of issues the PPCS AI Governance Check helps firms explore.
