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 presented by Lynn Fountain is the third part of our comprehensive Digital Transformation series, building upon our previous discussions of digital transformation. The focus of this course is a deeper dive into the implementation of RPA in finance and accounting processes. As many finance and accounting functions are repetitive and rule-based, RPA is often an ideal solution for increasing efficiency. In this course, we will specifically examine the various phases of the RPA process and what is necessary to successfully implement RPA. Furthermore, we will evaluate specific accounting and finance functions that are particularly well-suited for RPA.

RPA is a software automation tool that can be utilized to automate a range of routine tasks, including data extraction and cleaning through existing user interfaces. These "robots" operate under a designated user ID and perform tasks based on established rules. Some examples of tasks that can be performed with RPA include accessing email and systems, performing calculations, creating documents and reports, and checking files. Throughout this course, we will explore the application of RPA to various accounting and finance functions.

Major Topics Covered:

  • RPA operating models
  • The four phases of RPA
  • Sample RPA processes
  • Important criteria related to your RPA journey

Join us for this Information Technology course, as we continue to explore the role of RPA in accounting and finance, and identify how it can be used to drive process efficiency and effectiveness.
