Skills in emerging technologies are essential for professional accountants and help organisations enhance their future-readiness<\/em><\/p>\n

In response to insights from over 900 finance leaders, ACCA has created the Technology in Finance certificate series \u2013 a four-part programme designed to give finance teams the practical, future-ready tools to thrive in a fast-evolving world.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 with 50% of respondents to ACCA\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
