The finance function across the Philippines and APAC is undergoing rapid transformation driven by digital banking, fintech, and mobile-first platforms. Traditional practices like forecasting, capital allocation, and risk reporting are being reshaped by real-time data, evolving business models, and regulatory shifts. As AI and data-driven tools gain traction in forecasting, reporting, and scenario analysis, there is growing demand for finance leaders who can bridge core financial expertise with AI-enabled workflows — ensuring insights are strategic, compliant, and responsive to today’s dynamic environment.
The Executive Certificate in Strategic Finance with AI is built to respond to these changes. Through a mix of real-world case studies, hands-on digital tools and simulations, and a capstone project, the program aims to help professionals strengthen their strategic finance skills — while also becoming fluent in contemporary digital and AI-augmented approaches. The goal is to prepare participants to contribute not only to financial reporting and control, but also to strategic capital decisions, risk anticipation, and adaptive planning in a fast-changing market environment.
By the end of this program, learners will be able to:
Understand Strategic Finance in a Digital Context: Gain a clear understanding of how finance supports business strategy, value creation, and long-term decision-making in dynamic market environments.
Develop and Apply Financial Models: Learn to structure effective financial models and apply AI-supported techniques for budgeting, forecasting, and scenario analysis.
Use AI to Improve Finance Operations: Explore how AI tools can support automation in forecasting, reporting, and variance analysis to improve accuracy and reduce manual effort.
Enhance Risk and Performance Insights: Apply AI-driven approaches for identifying risks, running stress tests, and tracking financial and operational performance in near real-time.
Adopt Digital Tools for Financial Planning: Work with no-code platforms and digital tools to modernize planning processes, cost analysis, and capital allocation frameworks.
Communicate Financial Information Effectively: Translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights using data storytelling, visualization, and presentation techniques.
Recognize Ethical Considerations in AI Use: Understand the importance of responsible AI use, including addressing bias, ensuring transparency, and setting appropriate governance mechanisms.
