Course Overview

Are you curious about the buzz surrounding digital transformation and how it can benefit your organization? Look no further than our Digital Transformation series, a four-course series designed to guide you through the process of adopting digital information technology to drive value and growth.  Digital transformation is more than just the digitization of existing processes; it's about fundamentally changing how you operate and deliver value to customers.

This CPE webinar by Lynn Fountain marks the second installment of our comprehensive Digital Transformation series. Building upon the foundations laid in the previous course, we delve into the topic of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) as it relates to finance and accounting. Due to the repetitive and rule-based nature of many financial processes, the finance and accounting department is a natural starting point for RPA implementations.

RPA is a software automation tool that enables the automation of routine tasks, such as data extraction and cleaning, through existing user interfaces. These tasks can range from accessing email and systems to performing calculations, creating reports, and checking files. However, before embarking on an RPA initiative, it is crucial to understand the impact of automation, the challenges associated with RPA, and key concepts such as bots, bot managers, and workflow design.

Key Topics discussed in this webinar:

  • The components of Intelligent Process Automation (IPA)
  • Robotic process automation (RPA) and its importance to digital transformation
  • The potential impact of automation
  • The RPA automation processes, and How RPA works
  • Actions for successful RPA
  • Potential RPA process candidates

This Information Technology course provides a comprehensive understanding of RPA in the context of finance and accounting, equipping you with the knowledge needed to effectively implement RPA initiatives in your organization.

Lynn is a very articulate presenter and gave wonderful differentiations between AI, Machine Language, Machine Learning, Robots, Bots, and all forms of Process Automation. Her presentation was within the announced time, but was within 3 minutes of a conclusion of the time, well beyond the minimum time for earning credit. I found her information so interesting that I did not notice the time until it concluded. Well done.
