Modern tax research: tools, techniques and best practices

Tax research is being reshaped by AI — but not all tools are built equal

Overview

AI in finance

General-purpose chatbots can produce confident, plausible-sounding answers that fall apart under scrutiny, and for accountants and tax consultants that is a real professional risk.

In this session, Nick Mannering and Oscar McGuire of Law Cyborg walk through how leading practices are upgrading their research workflows, what “old school” methods still hold up, and the hidden issues with general AI tools like ChatGPT.

What you will learn:

  • New vs old school tax research methods
  • Optimal AI research workflows for tax work
  • Hidden issues of using general AI tools like ChatGPT
  • How to evaluate AI tools for professional, client-facing use

Plus — bring your trickiest tax questions and we will tackle them live in the session.

Join Law Cyborg, in association with ACCA, to sharpen your research process and use AI with confidence.
