In a rewind to the Digital Transformation & AI Awards 2025, Chartered Accountants Ireland was shortlisted for the Best Digital Transformation — Financial & Professional Services award for a Virtual Reality learning experience that tackled one of the profession's most persistently difficult training challenges: equipping junior and trainee auditors with the professional scepticism skills that textbooks and traditional instruction struggle to develop. As public-facing professional bodies across Ireland explore how emerging technologies can deepen the quality of learning and practice, Chartered Accountants Ireland's VR initiative offers a concrete example of what digitally led transformation can look like in a knowledge-intensive, regulated profession.
