Course Description

As part of the ever-evolving business landscape, a place where bots “work-to-learn” alongside their human counterparts, accountants are tasked with challenge of balancing extreme demands: On one hand, you have the prospect of major transformation, as machine learning shifts your workload and subsequently the needs of your firm’s future workforce. On the other, in spite of the latest innovations, there’s a very essential need to stay grounded in the here-and-now. After all, you (and your customers) still have a business to run!
 
Couple this with the fact that it’s time-consuming (and sometimes confusing) to swim through the noise of ‘robots taking over our jobs’ when we know that the technology itself still has much room for improvement. Part of the challenge here is being able to weed through the clutter, to get to the heart of the matter, so that we can effectively embrace AI in its earliest stages. So, as a firm leader, how do you effectively handle this demand? HINT: the ‘answer to AI’ is more about the people than it is about technology. Take-a-ways include:


  • A birds-eye view of AI in the Accounting Industry

  • A few examples of the technology in practice — and in theory

  • A possible framework for effective collaboration with technologists

  • An overview of future-forward growth opportunities for firm development.
