Join us on Wednesday 27 August for this interactive session where you will:

  • See the core algorithms in action, from linear and logistic regression (and how cost functions shrink with gradient descent), through to regularised models, neural networks (feed-forward, CNNs, RNNs), K-Means clustering, association rules, PCA and anomaly detection.
  • Watch live coding demos that turn raw accounting data into fraud flags, expected credit losses estimates consistent with IFRS 9 and forward-looking forecasts, no prior programming required, just plenty of “aha!” moments.
  • Discuss the importance of considering ethics and bias to ensure your future models are as responsible as they are powerful.

This module is ideal for accounting and finance professionals who want to future-proof their skill-set.  Bring your curiosity and leave with core knowledge, skills, and a clear roadmap to develop and implement machine learning models for data-driven decision-making in accounting and finance.
