Ewan McCall

Ewan McCall is Research and Thought Leadership Manager at ICAS, where he leads the Shaping the Profession programme. His work focuses on how emerging technologies—particularly artificial intelligence—are reshaping the accountancy profession, and how professional judgement can be strengthened rather than diminished by technological change.

In March, ICAS published the findings of a year‑long research partnership on Generative AI and Professional Judgement in Accounting, examining how practitioners can use AI responsibly in complex decision‑making environments.

Before joining ICAS in 2025, McCall worked in research roles across the charity, heritage and technology sectors, with a focus on public‑interest outcomes. From 2017–19 he served as the UK Young Ambassador to Europe, presenting policy positions on skills and sustainability at G20‑level forums. In 2022, he published a social history of law in Scotland, exploring how technological change has shaped professional services over time.
