Roundtable: The Financial Testing Challenge

Adapting to an AI-Driven World

4pm-5pm CEST / 3pm-4pm BST / 7am-8am MST

Financial certification is facing multiple pressures simultaneously. Security measures that worked for decades are being outpaced by new technologies. Candidates increasingly question whether traditional testing methods reflect actual professional competence. Meanwhile, the skills finance professionals need are evolving faster than assessment methods can adapt.

This isn’t just about AI, though that’s accelerating everything. It’s about fundamental questions: What does professional competence look like when technology changes how work gets done? How do you secure high-stakes exams without creating such barriers that you can’t measure what matters?

Our expert panel brings together perspectives from across the testing ecosystem to examine these challenges, because decisions made now will shape financial testing for years to come.
