No, AI is unlikely to completely replace Chartered Accountants or auditors in the near future. It will automate many tasks, but essential human qualities like professional judgment and ethical reasoning remain crucial.

AI will automate repetitive, rule-based tasks such as data entry, reconciliations, journal-entry processing, scanning large transaction volumes, basic compliance checks, and standard tax calculations.
