Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) has launched a new Certificate in AI Fluency to equip finance professionals with critical skills to embrace Generative AI.
CA ANZ Group Executive Education and Marketing, Simon Hann, said the certificate is designed specifically to help accounting and finance professionals stay competitive in rapidly evolving workplaces.
“The Certificate in AI Fluency exemplifies the dynamic professional development and training initiatives CA ANZ is creating to empower our members and finance professionals to embrace Gen AI. This critical technology is helping augment their key skills, including problem-solving, critical thinking, adaptive mindset and ethical oversight,” Mr Hann said.
Co-designed by AI and technology adoption expert, Inbal Rodnay, and Chief Edge Officer at Deloitte’s Centre for the Edge, Peter Williams FCA, enrolments for the Certificate in AI Fluency are now open and the course will commence in May.
“Developing AI literacy is the single most impactful thing that any professional can do today for their career, team and business. The certificate is a perfect starting point,” said Ms Rodnay.
"We have worked to create learning materials that develop lasting, meaningful skills in what is a rapidly evolving field. The course is practical, and the learning is immediately applicable, so people can confidently integrate AI into their ways of working and stay ahead of industry changes. I’m looking forward to meeting participants in the live workshops I'll be leading,” she said.
Peter Williams FCA said: “I’m proud to see the profession’s rapid uptake of AI. This certificate equips finance professionals with strategic understanding and practical skills to apply AI through the lens of our professional and ethical standards.”
“The 20-hour program incorporates four micro courses and two expert-led workshops to help participants identify opportunities and then effectively use Gen AI,” he said.
More information about the certificate is available here for Australian members and here for New Zealand members.
