This program introduces tax professionals to the power of AI in detecting fraud, optimizing audits, and enhancing compliance without requiring prior coding experience.

Introduction

In an era of increasing digital transactions and complex financial data, tax authorities and financial professionals face the dual challenge of ensuring fair compliance and effectively combating tax evasion. This intensive certificate program introduces participants to the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in revolutionizing tax administration. Participants will learn how AI enables the precise identification of tax returns indicating potential non-compliance or fraud, thereby optimizing the allocation of audit resources.
