SYNOPSIS

This course aims to equip participants with the skills to easily create useful RPA scripts to automate the audit processes, without coding or programming knowledge. They will learn how to achieve this through using a RPA software. At the end of the course, participants will be able to immediately use the RPA solutions and adopt the use of RPA in their workplace.With many businesses turning to digital technologies and tools, cyber risks have also increased tremendously. Accounting professionals are one of the key targets for cyber criminals due to the large volume of confidential and sensitive data which they maintain for their clients. These cyber risks are further amplified if accounting professionals and their staff do not have adequate understanding of the risks and management of the risks.

During this webinar, the speakers will share with you how you can manage the cyber and technology risks to prevent unnecessary reputational and financial losses in the long run.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to:

• Understand what is RPA and how it can automate processes
• Develop RPA scripts using case examples
• Identify audit processes suitable for RPA implementation
• Develop RPA scripts using learner’s selected process (es)
• Deploy developed RPA solutions immediately at the workplace.
