Using Data Analytics Within the Organization: A 'Low-Hanging Fruit' Approach
This 1-hour webinar is aimed at accounting practitioners and businesses at the beginning stages of their investment in accounting analytics.
Overview
This one-hour webinar is aimed at accounting practitioners and businesses at the beginning or early stages of their investment in accounting analytics. The aim is to introduce practitioners to a simple yet effective framework for maximizing their return on this investment. Specifically, the focus will be on how the vast majority of accounting analytics-related problems can be answered with properly crafted queries and appropriate forecasting models. First, queries let you answer such questions as who are the most profitable customers and what is the likelihood that a customer will churn by slicing/dicing and aggregating data from one or more sources. Second, simple forecasting models such as product sales are the foundation for budgeting, allocation of resources, and the formation of expectations. In this webinar you learn how to integrate queries and forecasting into accounting analytics-driven projects. Although the webinar focuses on the use of internal organizational data by management accountants, the data analytic approach and methods will also be useful to CPAs working in public practice and management consulting.
Webinar participants will receive an official verified confirmation of participation after the webinar that can be used toward CPA professional development requirements.
