In this webinar, Wayne Thomas discusses how introductory financial accounting and intermediate courses can be modernized using AI-driven cases, data analytics, analysis of real-world companies, and other technology-based tools drawn directly from practice. In financial accounting, these autograded assignments help to spark interest, broaden students’ perspective of the profession, and attract high-performing students into the major. In intermediate accounting, the same tools are leveraged to deepen professional judgment, strengthen analytical thinking, and better prepare students for the CPA exam and accounting careers.
