We want to position ourselves as a hub that has the credibility to bridge between the tech sector and our profession.

Our Data and Technology Action Agenda

  • Developing an overarching approach to proptech innovations, building on our existing Tech Affiliate Programme
  • Launching a tech partner recognition scheme
  • Positioning ourselves as a safe harbour for global data sharing through a proposed data partner solution

Looking ahead, we will make the best use of leading technology, big data and AI to equip the profession with a smarter, more agile assurance regime. We will deliver excellence in the profession by:

  • providing global, real-time updates to members on areas of professional risk or liability
  • undertaking pre-emptive regulatory activity
  • promoting professionalism through proactive assurance
  • supporting intuitive lifelong professional competency and business development support
