Together, we cover the key concepts of GenAI and explore how it can be applied to tasks performed by future financial professionals (e.g., reporting, client communication, and analysis). You will actively try out several exercises yourself (on your own laptop) and learn how to use GenAI critically and responsibly in an accounting context.<\/em><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>In addition, I will share best practices for implementing this workshop in your own teaching, including how to guide students in identifying both the opportunities and the risks of GenAI use.
