Digital Transformation Toolbox - Preparing for the future of Accounting (Live Webinar)

DELIVERY FORMAT
Online Virtual
SEMINAR TYPE
PD Seminar

Overview

Technology advances are shaping the future of accounting and the pace of digital change is faster than ever. A recent survey of CFOs and controllers showed that Digital Transformation is their #1 focus in 2021, yet 70% of all Digital Transformations fail to reach their goals. No accountant can ignore the onslaught of AI, Blockchain and Automation. These new technologies open up huge opportunities for Finance teams but getting full value from your investments requires a new set of skills. Drawing on 25 years' technology delivery from UK and Canada, the instructor will host an interactive discussion on how technology is transforming accounting and how to future proof your finance career.

  This is an online virtual offering. Live webinars have varying levels of expected interaction, with some requiring microphone and camera capabilities to support a proper learning experience – please email pdreg@bccpa.ca if you have concerns.
