The institutes signed a Letter of Cooperation establishing a framework for the Global AI Fluency Initiative, which will see ISCA's AI Fluency Programme extended to ICAI's global network of over 1.5 million members and students. The 30-hour programme focuses on three areas: AI Fluency Foundations, AI for Accounting Specialisations, and AI Leadership & Governance. ISCA has also approved a proposed Module Exemption Agreement (MEA) with ICAI, which could provide exemptions under the respective qualification pathways for eligible members from 21 August 2026. Both ISCA and ICAI emphasized the importance of AI in shaping the future of the accountancy profession and expressed their commitment to building AI fluency alongside strong professional expertise.",
