About this online course

Basic information

The seminar "Künstliche Intelligenz in der Buchhaltung" shows you how AI makes your accounting more efficient. The provider names three goals: making processes more efficient, reducing errors, and creating strategic advantages. You also see how AI can be integrated into existing workflows.

To start, it covers basic concepts and technologies of AI. Then follow the legal and ethical aspects of using AI. Data protection and compliance are at the center.

The practical part focuses on application areas in accounting. You get to know generative AI, such as RAG systems for data analysis and company-specific knowledge. Analytical AI is used for automatic invoice processing. Using ChatGPT as an example, the seminar shows how generative AI accelerates everyday work.

A separate block covers data management and AI. The provider explains the importance of structured data management for the successful use of AI. Opportunities, advantages, and challenges of integration are discussed, from cost reduction to implementation hurdles.

Finally, it addresses the role of humans in an AI-supported financial world. An outlook shows you trends that will shape accounting in the future. Honestly, I find this part particularly important because it goes beyond pure tool knowledge.

The offer is aimed at management, financial management, AI management, and accounting. It runs 100 percent online over two days with 16 teaching hours. Teaching takes place from 08:00 to 16:00. At the end, you receive a certificate of participation.

For the exercises, the provider recommends the paid version of ChatGPT (ChatGPT Plus). The subscription can be canceled at any time and used flexibly only for the seminar. According to the provider, anyone who has the paid version of Microsoft Copilot in the MS365 package does not need ChatGPT Plus. Check beforehand whether you meet the technical requirements for the online class.
