Move beyond the hype with a practical framework for implementing AI in professional services. Learn to balance innovation with governance to drive efficiency and safe growth.
AI is now an operational capability, not a theoretical option. Professional services firms face pressure to adopt AI—but successful adoption requires clear frameworks, governance, and realistic pilots. This intermediate, detail-based webinar focuses on how to implement AI in professional services: assess readiness, prioritise use cases, mitigate compliance and ethical risks, and design a phased rollout that delivers measurable value.
Through live demonstrations, practical templates and scenario-based discussions, you’ll see what AI can do well, where supervision is essential, and how to align AI adoption with client expectations and regulatory obligations. This session is aimed at practitioners who want to stop talking and start doing.
This course covers the following key topics:

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
