Practical AI for Accounting & Finance | Build Your Own Tools | Fraud Prevention, E-Invoicing & Ethics | 30 Years of Experience

menu_book17 courses
star307 reviews

My courses focus on practical applications of AI in accounting and finance, alongside fraud prevention, e-invoicing and financial reporting ethics. – AI Finance: Build and customise reconciliation tools and fraud dashboards using plain-language prompts (“vibe coding”), without prior programming experience. Learn to validate results, protect sensitive data and create repeatable workflows. – Fraud prevention and internal controls: Recognise red flags in invoices, payments, payroll and other transactions, and apply preventive controls and structured investigation methods. – E-invoicing: Understand global requirements, electronic invoice formats and opportunities to automate accounts payable and receivable. – Financial reporting ethics: Work through accounting judgments, estimates and ethical dilemmas using practical cases and decision-making tools. My teaching draws on 30 years of experience in accounting, finance leadership, internal and external audit, and transformation, including roles at Big4 firms, DELL, SSE and TOMRA. I am a Fellow of ACCA (FCCA) and the founder of E-LITE Consulting and RSAgile.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.

    Excellent and so valuable course! I am a bit traditional, so it surprised me that it is really possible to automate the whole AP e-invoice process.
