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

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
