Course Description

Many finance and accounting departments haven't reviewed their technological needs recently, and this oversight can slow or create inaccurate reporting or decision-making. If you hear excuses like “We've always done it this way” or “I have to do it in Excel because the system can’t,” we can help. Join us for an informative webinar as we provide real-world examples of how technology can hold organizations back and help you identify signs that an organization might be ready for a technological overhaul.

Learning Objectives:


  • Determine the potential consequences of outdated technology on financial and accounting processes, including its impact on reporting accuracy and decision-making efficiency

  • Identify common excuses and resistance patterns hindering technological advancements in finance and accounting departments, such as "We've always done it this way" or system limitations

  • Recognize key indicators and signs within an organization that signal the need for a technological overhaul to enhance productivity and competitiveness
