Powerful Financial Analysis with AI & BI (Live Webinar - Multi Segment)
Overview
Does part of your role or those you supervise involve financial analysis? In today's fast-paced corporate world, financial analysis can mean many things. Powerful Financial Analysis with AI & BI will cover the key facets of a financial analysis within an organization and help individuals further their career by providing meaningful information to those around them. This seminar is intended for accountants working within companies rather than public practitioners.
Advisory 1: This workshop is designed to be highly interactive, with participants engaging in hands-on exercises to support learning through practice. To ensure the best possible learning experience, we strongly recommend using a computer rather than a mobile device.
Advisory 2: This course serves as an enhanced replacement for the previous Powerful Financial Analysis course. Because it builds on similar concepts and includes overlapping material, it is not recommended for individuals who have already completed the Powerful Financial Analysis course with Karine Benzacar previously.
