Accordingly, we, as accounting professionals, need to be on the forefront of these changes, including having a firm understanding of the risks associated with the use of these tools.In this course, we'll review these trends, highlight new and emerging products, such as ChatGPT, and focus on cybersecurity risks and best practices that will allow accounting professionals to help our clients navigate these exciting but challenging times. Plus, we'll review the relevant guidance on audit evidence found in SAS 142, which guides our use of technology on our professional engagements.
