Overview

The use of analytics by finance and accountancy professionals is not new. Many finance teams have been using data to report on trends and past performance since the 1980s. However, the volume of data that we, as a society, create and the availability of computing power to process and analyse it means that we can do much more than just look at past trends. In times of rapid change business leaders are seeking insights into what might happen rather than just focusing on what has done so.

During this webinar, we’ll be exploring the findings from the recent joint ACCA and CA ANZ report Analytics in Finance and Accountancy. An expert panel will be discussing the role of analytics in finance, the skills finance professionals need and how we can develop more forward-looking analytics.
