Course Description

Synopsis:

The accounting sector often faces extensive workloads, characterized by manual and repetitive tasks. In response to current economic pressures, companies are increasingly striving to reduce overhead costs. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) emerges as one of the essential tools that accountants can leverage to automate tax, audit, accounting, finance, and corporate secretarial processes, resulting in substantial productivity gains.

Power Automate helps organizations improve efficiency by automating processes like form filling, sending emails, reducing errors, and freeing up time for more value-added activities. Additionally, it integrates with Microsoft apps and other external platforms, making it versatile for various business needs. This module focuses on hands-on exercises with Power Automate for RPA, to create automated workflows for data entry and sending of emails. 

We also recommend you view RPA for Accountants by Accountants: Creating an Action Plan, to get an introduction to RPA implementation and its use cases, before attempting the hands-on exercises in this module.
