To stay ahead in the age of digital transformation, it is essential for finance and accounting professionals to embrace technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) and empower yourself with the latest knowledge and skills to be better prepared for the workplace of the future.

Designed with a strong focus on practical applications of AI in finance and valuation, this insightful 5-day course provides you with a good understanding of the fundamentals of analytics, AI and ML and their capabilities in solving real world business problems. Get insights on how AI and analytics can be applied in the context of finance and valuation, such as fraud detection, risk management, auditing and compliance, valuation, investment analysis, and automation of data analysis. Case studies and hands-on sessions will be incorporated to reinforce your learning and application.

In this beginner-friendly AI for business course, the “intelligence” behind AI, the tools available, as well as the latest trends and applications, including generative AI such as ChatGPT will be discussed. You will also understand the basics of R and Python Programming, including essential AI algorithms on regression, classification and neural networks (used intensively in generative AI). You will learn to apply them to perform rapid data analysis, auto-generate decision rules, create neural networks and data visualization.

Upon completion, you will be familiar with the basic AI terminologies, the process of developing AI and analytics solutions and the evaluation of proposed solutions. With the new digital knowledge and skills gained, you will feel more confident to embrace AI and analytics for business or engage with stakeholders to explore the adoption of AI in your organisation.
