Skills in emerging technologies are essential
for professional accountants and help organisations enhance their
future-readiness
In response to insights
from over 900 finance leaders, ACCA has created the Technology in Finance
certificate series – a four-part programme designed to give finance teams the
practical, future-ready tools to thrive in a fast-evolving world.
Technology is
transforming finance, from data and AI to cybersecurity and organisational
change. However not having the skills
required for the future workplace is a major concern – with 50% of respondents
to ACCA’s Global Talent Trends survey concerned that they need to develop the
necessary skills. Organisations need accountants and finance professionals to
be tech-enabled, not just technically sound.
The certificates are
aimed at anyone working in a finance role, particularly those interested in
technology development and CPD for career progression. The programme is also
highly relevant to finance employers or those overseeing a finance function who
want their teams to gain crucial tech skills to prepare for the future.
Md. Sajid Khan, Director – India at ACCA
said: ‘Technology is already reshaping finance and embracing these innovations
is just one of the ways that we’re redefining accountancy. These new
certificates will give professional accountants in India - and their employers -
the tools to thrive in this fast-evolving world.’
The series includes:
·
Certificate in Data
Analytics for Finance Professionals
·
Certificate in
Cybersecurity for Finance Professionals
·
Certificate in AI for
Finance Professionals
·
Certificate in
Organisational Transformation for Finance Professionals
Individuals can enrol
in the full series or target specific knowledge requirements by choosing the
certificates most relevant to their roles. Enrolment is now open for the first
certificate focused on Data Analytics. Learners can sign up through ACCA
Learning, ACCA’s dedicated platform for finance
professionals’ continuous learning.
