Data Analytics in Accounting is a focused CPD seminar for accounting and finance professionals. It builds practical capability in using Excel, Python, and Tableau to acquire, clean, analyze, and visualize financial data, then communicate insights with clarity. Participants work through forecasting, risk assessment, fraud detection, and performance evaluation, using structured exercises and case examples.
