accountancy insights podcast behind the numbers padding

In this episode of Behind the Numbers, we discuss continuous learning around technology and artificial intelligence.

For accountants, getting the most out of fast-evolving technologies involves more than simply training people how to use them. Judgement, communication and granular accountancy skills all come into play. So how can firms identify their training needs and what are the best ways to deliver that training?

Philippa Lamb explores the key issues with Jenny Blewett, Head of Finance at Costello Medical; Daniel Clark, business trainer and writer; and Julia Penny, Director at JS Penny and ICAEW past-President.
