Webinar Details

An MIT and Boston Consulting Group study of more than 3,000 companies found that 80% believed artificial intelligence would give them a competitive advantage. AI and robotic process automation (RPA) are steadily moving into business and into accounting functions in particular.

This 75-minute webinar on AI and RPA for accounting professionals defines both technologies and explains bots, with specific reference to accounting. You'll see how they are used in accounting today, how they might be used in the future, and how they will affect accounts payable.

The session also looks at the skills that will be in demand as these technologies spread, and offers recommendations for building an action plan to acquire them.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

As automation takes on more accounting work, professionals who understand AI and RPA will be better placed to use them and to stay relevant. This practical session helps you spot opportunities in your own organization and plan your skill development.

It suits accountants, controllers, CFOs, auditors and accounting managers.
