CPD Course: The principles of successful governance

Agentic AI in the Finance Function

The days of treating AI like a simple chatbot are officially over. We have entered the era of Agentic AI: autonomous digital workers capable of understanding complex goals, breaking them down into steps, and using your existing software to execute financial workflows. No matter your level in the finance team, you need to know how to manage, direct, and audit this new digital workforce.

Accountants and finance leaders are uniquely positioned to lead this transition. Because these new AI agents can handle routine, manual data entry, your role is fundamentally shifting away from being a “number cruncher” and moving heavily towards becoming a strategic advisor and leader.

This course equips finance professionals with a comprehensive understanding of Agentic AI and what it means for your organisation. From mastering the core architecture of AI agents and evaluating enterprise-grade tools, right through to a practical roadmap for implementing Agentic AI successfully, you will gain everything you need to confidently navigate the future of finance.

Provides 1 hour of CPD

What you’ll learn:

  • The shift from Generative to Agentic AI to help you understand how autonomous agents execute tasks across your ERP, Excel, and bank portals without hand-holding.
  • How to vet the real-world AI tech stack to help you filter out the noise and confidently select purpose-built, enterprise-grade tools that meet strict compliance and audit demands.
  • The automation of the month-end close, ensuring your team understands how to transition away from manual data gathering and focus entirely on high-level strategic review.
  • The ‘Human-in-the-Loop’ governance framework, allowing you to securely orchestrate AI, mitigate hallucination risks, and uphold your strict IFAC ethical obligations.
  • A practical 5-step strategic implementation plan to help you identify friction points, build a watertight business case for the board, pilot in a sandbox, and safely scale your digital finance team.
