About this Event

This event will motivate and empower management accountants to embrace data-driven leadership. Learn how predictive analytics forecasts financial outcomes and how prescriptive analytics guides optimal decisions. Gain the insight and confidence to enhance performance, drive strategic planning, and deliver greater value in today’s fast-moving, analytics-driven business environment.

In this session, we will uncover how predictive and prescriptive analytics are redefining the role of the management accountant—from reporting the trends to shaping the future.

You’ll gain a clear understanding of how predictive analytics anticipates financial outcomes, while prescriptive analytics drives optimized decisions. We’ll explore how these capabilities elevate performance management, strengthen planning, and unlock strategic value across the business. By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped with the insight and confidence to lead with data, drive better decisions, and position your organization—and yourself—for long-term advantage.


Who should attend:

Besides Management Accountants, the talk will benefit Finance Business Partners, FP&A Professionals (Financial Planning & Analysis), Controllers and Finance Managers
