Episode 9: Trust, Truth & Transformation: Why the World Turns to Chartered Accountants
In Episode 9 of Chartered Accountants Global Update, we explore why, in an era of misinformation, institutional distrust, and AI disruption, Chartered Accountants are emerging as trusted leaders the world depends on.
New insights from Edelman DXI’s 2025 Trust Survey reveal that Chartered Accountants rank third globally for trust — behind only doctors and engineers — even as trust in the broader accountancy profession declines. What’s behind this trust gap, and what does it mean for the future of our profession?
We unpack the key findings, including why three in four businesses now rely on Chartered Accountants for data integrity, and how our role is expanding beyond compliance to ethical stewardship and strategic leadership in the digital age.
Plus, get a preview of the upcoming "Beyond Accounting: AI and Accountants 2025" event, where we’ll explore how to lead the AI transformation — not just adapt to it.
