How to Succeed With Your Company’s Agile Finance Transformation Program

The future of finance is digital. Finance leaders must consider the impact to their people, processes, and technologies to continue to automate tasks and stay ahead of change. This training is a result of the partnership between Oracle and AICPA & CIMA and is built around the agile finance operating model developed by the Association and implemented by Oracle: operational excellence, digital intelligence, and business influence. The training is designed to help finance professionals gain firsthand knowledge from actual practitioners in digital finance transformation and advance your career. Your team will learn why analytic and business skills are increasingly important and how cloud applications with advanced technologies are driving better, faster, and more accurate financial results. Participants will leave the training with the knowledge and practical skills to plan—or accelerate—their organization’s own digital finance journey.
