SUMMARY: Surgent's Data Analytics for Accountants and Financial Managers
DESCRIPTION: Data analytics and mining are the fastest growing disciplines in accounting and general management. Many organizations are either planning programs or have them already underway. Unfortunately\, a number of these attempts fail due to poor planning/preparation and a lack of commitment\, training\, and clear vision of the program's goals. Today there is no shortage of data\, but relatively few organizations have established an environment and ongoing process to isolate\, capture\, analyze\, and convert data into actionable information. At times\, even organizations that are employing leading-edge analytics are doing it with traditional\, limited sets of data.

This session explores how an organization can successfully become data driven. The discussion includes numerous examples demonstrating how accounting and financial professionals can build upon their current analytical skills to better perform traditional tasks and assume a role as a business partner with others in their organization. The program is aimed to assist those just beginning the journey\, as well as those who want to test their current efforts or are considering the need for a restart. In addition to discussing a number of analytical tools\, including available software\, lists of reference books and next-level software are provided. This program continues to build upon the Controllership Update Series.
