Course Overview

Organizations are capturing more data than ever before due to the rise of multimedia, social media, and the growing popularity of internet-enabled devices.Volatility and complexity are the new normal. This exponential growth leaves many organizational leaders wondering how to manage big data and enable data-driven business decisions.  The shortage of qualified and experienced professionals is also creating a unique opportunity for accounting and finance professionals, who are at a distinct advantage to play a leading role in creating a strategic competitive advantage and driving business value.

Most organizations are drowning in data, but starving for information. The finance and accounting function has the opportunity to leverage Big Data and the continuum of analytics – descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive. All are useful for better decision-making. Collecting, validating, and reporting data is not the same thing as analyzing information where we can glean valuable, actionable insights. In some ways, the finance function is many years behind other disciplines such as marketing, sales, and supply chain managers, in applying analytics. How can the CFO’s function catch up?

The demand for CPA, CMA, CVA professionals to be able to apply these tools is increasing every day. Don’t be left behind! This CPE webinar for CPAs, CMAs, CVAs will bring you up to speed on the concepts, nomenclature, applications, and tools associated with data analytics and business intelligence. You owe it to yourself as a CPA, CMA, CVA professional to attend this online continuing education course.

Marlene Baker, CPA (US)

I enjoyed watching and participating in this webinar. I feel like we as CPAs need to be able to adapt to the amount of automation in our field and therefore what we value-add will primarily be our ability to use and promulgate the associated analytics.

Sharon Suppa, CPA (US)

I was afraid at the outset that I would not be able to pass the quiz at the end--I have not attended the 3 previous courses. However, Mr. Cokins presented the information in this final course in a way that I could understand.
