The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and SMU Academy, the professional training arm of Singapore Management University (SMU), launched the advanced certificate in finance leadership for technological, sustainability, and geopolitical disruption.
The six-module professional programme seeks to gear up finance leaders for a business environment being reshaped simultaneously by technology, the sustainability transition and geopolitical tension.
According to a press release, the initiative is built around three Ts: Technology, Transition, and Tension, addressing them as a single connected challenge rather than three separate ones.
Across 12 days of on-campus and online learning, participants work through macro trends reshaping finance; AI applications in finance and accounting, intangible assets and intellectual property, ESG reporting and sustainable finance, finance leadership and cross-border risk management.
The programme is CPD-accredited and designed for finance professionals including accountants, finance managers, controllers, data analysts, transformation managers, risk and compliance specialists, and audit and governance professionals.
Participants should have at least two years of experience in financial services or foundational finance industry knowledge.
The certificate programme will be available from January 2027.
