8.00 Credits
Member Price: $369
This event is a rebroadcast of a live event.The CFO Series provides a convenient, one-stop way for CFOs and those who aspire to be CFOs, to earn an entire year of CPE with a single decision. Each day consists of a subject matter expert leading discussions about four different topics. The CFO Series features high-quality presentations and an interactive, executive level colleague-to-colleague approach with case studies, group discussions, and team exercises. This presentation focuses on four perspectives on how technology has changed our profession and life. Are you and your organization using AI? Are you using AI effectively? What happens when a teammate posts something offensive on social media? We must stay abreast of and be aware of the myriad uses, perils, ethics, and advantages of AI. What are the numerous considerations? The spotlight is to always enhance our skills and help our organization improve. Technology is always moving forward, just as we should. Otherwise, we risk being left behind. Join us to learn best practices.This course qualifies for 3 hours of Accounting & Auditing credit and 2 hours of Ethics credit.Module 1: Living in the World of AI – How AI Has Changed EthicsAI ('Artificial Intelligence') has already reshaped the way we work, offering immense opportunities alongside serious ethical and organizational challenges. How should we use AI responsibly without slowing innovation? Is using AI ethical? Is it right? Is not using AI ethical? How can we build trust in tools we don’t fully understand, avoid bias, and address employee resistance? In this seminar, we'll explore how to deploy AI ethically, engage teams with clarity, and ensure these powerful tools are used in ways that empower people, strengthen organizations, and create sustainable long-term value. The goal is to make better use of the power of AI, in a sustainable and ethical way.Module 2: Accounting in the Age of AI: What Every Leader Must Know About Using AIArtificial intelligence is showing up everywhere, from "autonomous" general ledgers to AI-powered fraud detection and tax research agents. But for many leaders, these tools are either misunderstood or overhyped. Staff are concerned about being replaced. Managers are concerned about the use of AI causing chaos. This seminar gives CFOs, controllers, and tax professionals a grounded look at how AI is impacting real-world accounting departments. We will explore how these tools work, what they can (and can't) do, and what finance leaders should be doing now to prepare their teams and processes for the changes that will happen. Module 3: AI Is Not the Enemy: Practical Tools to Harness TechnologyAre you and your organization using AI effectively today? AI is not coming -- it's here already. As a leader, you do not need to be an engineer, but you must be in control. Conscientious professionals must get a clear handle on AI -- what it does well, where it goes wrong, and how to keep it from becoming a liability? We will discuss the real risks behind the buzzwords, from deepfakes and fraud to flawed decision tools and hidden bias. We will also break down what smart oversight looks like and how AI can expose gaps in your internal controls. Most importantly, this is not a doom-and-gloom session. It is about showing you how to lead confidently in a world where AI plays a growing role in financial decision-making -- whether you are already deploying AI or not? Those who embrace AI are ready for tomorrow. Do not be left behind. Module 4: Beyond Likes and Shares: Can Social Media Really Work at Work?In our social media world of scrolling, liking, sharing, and sometimes reporting; there is a dilemma that hits hard in the workplace. Should we use social media? Really? How can we use social media responsibly? Can we separate our personal self from our professional self? We will discuss the numerous errors made when dealing with social media and the negative fallout. Social media often drives cultural trends and conversations. Even if someone is not directly participating in these conversations online, they may still be exposed to them through mainstream media, conversations with others, or public events. We review what is acceptable, and not, for a professional to do? Your people ARE using social media, but are they using it to inadvertently damage the organization and the brand? Be prepared with a plan before another social media fiasco happens.
