UVAFinance: Check out "Analytics for Finance Professionals" this spring!

In partnership with the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, UVAFinance is offering this 4-day course developed through Cornerstone Program to provide an opportunity to learn how to use data to advise and influence your stakeholders. These skills will be particularly useful as we begin to review our current business processes in preparation for Finance Transformation.

In addition to the course this spring, UVAFinance is also planning on offering a fall course.

Business analytics can provide insights that inform business decisions and can be used to automate and optimize business processes. Successful business analytics depends on data quality, skilled analysts who understand the technologies and the business, and an organizational commitment to data-driven decision-making.

At the conclusion of the course, participants will receive a UVA-recognized certificate of completion.
