ISCA's AI fluency programme draws 15,000 sign-ups in two months

The programme aims to upskill 60,000 accountancy and finance professionals over three years.

Over 15,000 accountants and finance professionals have enrolled in the national AI learning initiative that aims to build practical AI capabilities across the profession.

According to a statement, the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) said this development came two months after the launch of the ISCA AI Fluency Programme.

The programme aims to equip 60,000 accountancy and corporate finance professionals over the next three years, representing approximately half of Singapore's accountancy profession. It also develops professionals who combine professional judgement and technical expertise with practical AI capabilities that can be applied effectively and responsibly at work.

Professionals who have joined the programme come from different backgrounds, including students preparing to enter the workforce and senior business leaders. Professionals from organisations including EY, Deloitte, DBS, SP Group and the Accountant-General's Department are also participating in the programme.

To date, over 250 learners have earned their AI Fluency digital badge, whilst almost 80 learners have completed the full 30 hours of structured online learning.

As part of expanding the programme, ISCA is preparing Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese versions of the AI Fluency programme to support wider regional adoption. Discussions are also underway with professional accountancy organisations, accounting firms and corporates across ASEAN.

Within Singapore, ISCA is working towards its goal of upskilling 60,000 accountancy and corporate finance professionals over three years, whilst deepening adoption across organisations and supporting more learners in completing their AI Fluency journey.

The programme will also continue to evolve with new AI tools, emerging accountancy use cases and industry developments to ensure professionals remain current in an increasingly AI-enabled workplace.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
