Financial organizations today face increasing pressure to process ever-growing volumes of data, anticipate risks, detect anomalies, and make decisions with greater speed and accuracy. In this environment, traditional methods of financial analysis and reporting are insufficient: those that do not incorporate advanced technology into their processes lose competitiveness, efficiency, and responsiveness to a rapidly changing market. Artificial intelligence has ceased to be a future promise and has become a concrete tool that is already redefining the role of the financial professional.
Meeting this challenge requires more than simply becoming familiar with the technology: it demands understanding how AI works, identifying strategic applications, and evaluating its cost, impact, and ethical implications. Today's finance professionals need to master automation tools, intelligent forecasting, risk analysis, and fraud detection; and develop the human skills that technology cannot replace. All of this can be achieved without requiring advanced programming knowledge.
To contribute to the training of financial professionals capable of leading the digital transformation in their organizations, the University of Piura presents the Business Course in AI for Financial Management. Through six training modules, participants will acquire the skills to integrate artificial intelligence into their work processes in a practical, responsible, and strategic way, strengthening their professional profile and their ability to generate value in the digital age.
- Financial professionals —analysts, controllers and planning managers— who seek to understand how artificial intelligence works and how to practically integrate it into their work processes.
- Managers, department heads, and decision-makers who want to improve financial analysis and strategic planning using data-driven tools.
- Consultants, financial advisors, and independent professionals interested in incorporating AI technologies to strengthen their value proposition in the market.
General objective:
Understanding how artificial intelligence works and how to apply it practically in financial management to optimize processes and improve decision-making.
Specific objectives:
- Design and implement artificial intelligence workflows to automate financial processes and improve decision-making.
- Understanding how artificial intelligence is transforming financial management.
- Identify specific opportunities to apply AI in key financial processes.
- Evaluate the impact, costs, and benefits of artificial intelligence-based solutions.
- Recognize the ethical risks associated with the use of AI in finance.
- Develop the skills that complement the use of AI and that the financial professional needs in the digital age.
The course is developed using a theoretical-practical approach focused on the direct application of knowledge in real-world financial contexts. Sessions combine conceptual presentations with the analysis of real-world cases, practical exercises, and demonstrations of artificial intelligence tools.
The course takes place in virtual modality, through real-time online sessions that allow direct interaction between the instructor and the participants. Classes are held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:00 pm to 10:15 pm.
