AI Tools and Strategies for Accountants:
This course focuses on AI tools and techniques that are transforming the accounting profession. It discusses developments that will allow a practice to function more efficiently. AI technology provides numerous benefits for accountants, from automated data entry and improved client communication through to predictive analytics, compliance monitoring, tax preparation, and risk management. It even assists with tedious tasks like summarizing meetings, managing calendars, and performing sentiment analysis to improve relationships with customers and staff members. As organizations adopt AI, it becomes imperative that accounting firms, large and small, keep pace. Other topics include ethical and legal considerations, developing an AI-friendly culture, best practices, case studies and industry/regulatory standards. The session is delivered in clear, non-technical language.
