AI-Integrated Curriculum — Live Tool Practice on Real UAE Finance Data, All Five Days
Every LTCS AI course integrates live tool practice throughout — you work with real AI tools on real finance data across all five days, not slides about tools. Day 1 covers Excel Copilot for variance analysis, AI-assisted close acceleration, and IFRS narrative drafting on real P&L and balance sheet data. Day 2 covers Power BI + Copilot dashboard construction, AI-powered driver-based forecasting, and Python for Finance fundamentals using live financial datasets. Day 3 covers AI audit analytics tools on transaction populations, anomaly detection on structured GL data, and AI-assisted internal audit report writing. Day 4 covers UAE Corporate Tax AI tools, VAT reconciliation automation, and ZATCA compliance AI on representative UAE tax data. Day 5 builds to the individual AI in Finance project capstone — each participant applies the AI tools from all five days to a real finance challenge from their own organisation, presenting their AI transformation roadmap to peers and the facilitator. Participants are encouraged to bring their own financial data throughout — anonymised or representative — for the most immediately applicable outputs across every module.
Dedicated Career Consultant — CFO, FP&A Director & Finance Transformation Roles in UAE
Your career consultant maps your AI finance credentials to UAE career advancement opportunities — how completing a comprehensive 5-day AI in Finance programme positions you for the CFO, Finance Director, FP&A Director, and Finance Transformation roles that UAE’s most prestigious employers are actively seeking. UAE’s finance leadership market in 2026 is prioritising finance professionals who combine deep technical finance expertise with AI transformation capability — a combination this programme specifically develops. Your consultant provides UAE salary benchmarking for your specific finance role, function, and industry, CV and LinkedIn optimisation to reflect your AI finance certification, and supports your advancement toward the senior finance leadership roles where AI-enabled finance transformation capability commands the highest premiums — at UAE banks, sovereign wealth funds, real estate groups, and the UAE entities of global professional services and corporate groups.
L&D Specialist + Program Manager — Aligned to Your Close Cycle, FP&A, Tax & Audit Calendar
Your L&D Specialist aligns all five days to your finance team’s specific workflows — month-end close cycle, FP&A planning calendar, UAE Corporate Tax compliance timeline, VAT return cycle, external audit preparation schedule, and the internal reporting formats your CFO and board require. For finance teams managing the full UAE regulatory reporting burden — Corporate Tax, VAT, CBUAE prudential reporting, and IFRS financial statements — the specialist ensures Days 3 and 4’s audit and tax modules are structured around your specific regulatory obligations and entity structure. Your Program Manager tracks post-training finance productivity improvements — close cycle time, FP&A forecast accuracy, tax compliance documentation time, and audit preparation efficiency — across your team in the 60 days after the programme, producing the ROI evidence your CFO or Board Audit Committee needs to evaluate the training investment and plan the next phase of finance AI transformation.
Finance has the most structured data in every organisation, the clearest performance metrics, and the most direct link between process improvement and measurable business value. It is the function where AI delivers the most reliable, most immediately quantifiable results.
AI financial analysis, automated close processes, AI-powered forecasting, and continuous audit analytics are not experimental applications — they are deployed in production at UAE’s leading banks, real estate groups, and corporate conglomerates. The finance professionals who have built the skills to lead these deployments are the most valuable in UAE’s finance leadership market, and they are commanding compensation premiums that reflect their scarcity.
Finance Has the Highest-Quality, Most Structured Data for AI
Finance data — general ledger, budget variances, cost centre allocations, intercompany transactions, and regulatory submissions — is the most structured and highest-quality data in most organisations. This makes finance the function where AI delivers the most reliable, most immediately valuable results. AI financial analysis, anomaly detection in transaction populations, automated variance commentary, and predictive forecasting models are significantly more effective on finance data than on the unstructured data that limits AI performance in most other business functions. The five-day programme covers exactly how UAE finance teams can exploit this structural advantage to deliver AI-enabled finance capabilities that their CFOs and boards can see in the numbers — not just in technology adoption metrics.
UAE’s Expanding Tax Environment Creates Urgent AI Opportunity
The introduction of UAE Corporate Tax (effective June 2023), the maturing UAE VAT compliance obligations, and ZATCA’s expanding Saudi e-invoicing and tax requirements have significantly increased the documentation, analysis, and compliance burden on UAE finance teams — without a proportionate increase in finance headcount at most organisations. AI tools that automate UAE Corporate Tax computation workflows, draft FTA compliance documentation, perform VAT reconciliation analysis, and manage ZATCA FATOORAH e-invoicing compliance deliver direct, measurable time savings in this expanded regulatory environment. Day 4 of this programme covers these UAE-specific tax AI tools in detail — the most UAE-specific and immediately valuable element of any finance AI course available in the market.
CFOs Who Lead AI Transformation Are the Most Valued Finance Leaders in UAE
The UAE finance leadership market in 2026 is actively seeking CFOs and finance directors who can not only manage financial performance but also lead AI-driven finance transformation — building the AI-enabled finance functions that UAE’s boards, private equity owners, and institutional investors are increasingly expecting as a baseline of modern finance leadership. Finance professionals who complete comprehensive AI in Finance training — covering the full spectrum from reporting automation to strategic AI governance — position themselves for the most senior and best-compensated finance roles in UAE, where the combination of technical finance depth, UAE regulatory expertise, and AI transformation leadership is genuinely scarce and highly rewarded across banking, real estate, energy, and professional services.
Finance Leadership Roles in UAE — Where AI Transformation Capability Delivers the Strongest Salary Premium
UAE finance leadership roles at organisations undergoing AI transformation consistently command premiums of 20–40% above market for finance professionals who combine deep technical expertise with demonstrated AI capability. The five-day programme is designed to develop that combination comprehensively — equipping finance professionals to lead, not just participate in, the AI transformation of their function.

Flexible formats for individual finance professionals and corporate finance teams across the UAE and GCC
All modes include live AI tool practice on real UAE finance data throughout all five days. Participants are encouraged to bring their own financial data — anonymised P&L statements, budget models, GL extracts, VAT returns, and FP&A workings — for the most immediately deployable outputs. LTCS provides representative UAE financial datasets for all exercises. The Day 5 capstone project is most impactful when based on a real organisational finance challenge.
Classroom — Dubai
In-person at our Dubai training centre across five consecutive days or weekend blocks. Fully equipped AI lab environment throughout with direct instructor support. The classroom format is particularly valuable for the Day 5 capstone — individual finance project presentations benefit enormously from the peer review, cross-industry insight, and facilitator challenge that arise when UAE CFOs, Controllers, FP&A directors, and tax managers from different sectors discuss each other’s AI transformation roadmaps. The classroom cohort experience is itself a significant value of the five-day programme for senior finance professionals.
Online — Live
Live instructor-led sessions via Zoom with screen-share AI tool practice across all five days. Full interactivity maintained — participants share screens for live financial model review and AI output evaluation in real time. Ideal for UAE finance professionals whose schedules do not accommodate five consecutive in-person days, GCC participants outside Dubai, and finance leaders at organisations with strict data classification requirements who prefer not to bring financial data to an external venue. The online format maintains full capstone quality — Day 5 presentations proceed as breakout and plenary sessions via Zoom.
Corporate On-site
Delivered at your finance team’s office anywhere in the UAE or GCC — with all five days structured around your organisation’s specific ERP platform, close cycle, FP&A model, UAE CT and VAT entity structure, and the finance workflows where AI delivers the highest ROI for your team specifically. For corporate finance teams, on-site delivery allows the Day 1 close acceleration and Day 4 tax compliance exercises to be built around your actual month-end process and UAE CT computation structure — the most impactful format for immediate post-training productivity improvement.
Blended
Self-paced pre-reading on AI fundamentals for finance combined with live days focused on advanced tool practice, UAE tax compliance AI, and the Day 5 strategy and capstone sessions. Particularly effective for senior finance leaders (CFOs, Finance Directors) whose schedules cannot accommodate five consecutive full days — the blended format preserves the depth of Days 3–5 in live sessions while delivering Days 1–2 content flexibly. Includes 1:1 coaching throughout the learning period and dedicated capstone preparation support ahead of the Day 5 project presentation.

Designed for UAE finance and accounting professionals with meaningful finance experience who want to lead — not just participate in — AI transformation across their finance function
Intermediate to advanced level — the programme requires existing finance and accounting knowledge to derive full value. Participants need sufficient finance experience to understand the professional context of the AI tools being applied — the course does not teach finance fundamentals but instead shows experienced finance professionals how to transform the function they already lead or contribute to using AI. The five-day format is designed for finance professionals who want comprehensive transformation capability across the entire finance function — not just one discipline. CFOs and Finance Directors who want to lead AI strategy across their function, Financial Controllers who want to transform close and reporting processes, FP&A managers who want to build genuinely more accurate and insightful planning processes, and Tax Managers who need to build UAE Corporate Tax AI capability in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment all attend and derive different but equally high value from the same programme.
CFOs & Finance Directors
Lead AI transformation across your entire finance function — with the tools, frameworks, and strategic knowledge from all five days to deliver measurable productivity, accuracy, and compliance improvements. The participant review from a UAE Manufacturing Group CFO below describes Day 4 on tax compliance as the most immediately valuable day — identifying three areas where AI materially reduced UAE Corporate Tax compliance risk. The Day 5 capstone allows CFOs to develop a board-ready AI transformation roadmap for their finance function during the programme itself.
Financial Controllers
Transform your month-end close, financial reporting, and audit support processes with AI — reducing cycle time, improving narrative quality, and building the continuous control monitoring capability that UAE auditors and regulators increasingly expect. The participant review from a UAE Real Estate Developer Financial Controller below describes a 3-day close cycle reduction using Excel Copilot for variance analysis and AI-assisted narrative drafting — the kind of measurable, attributable improvement that advances Controllers toward Finance Director roles.
FP&A Managers & Directors
Apply AI to forecasting, scenario analysis, driver-based modelling, and management reporting — producing more insight in less time for UAE leadership teams while building the forecast accuracy that distinguishes great FP&A professionals from good ones. The participant review from a UAE Bank FP&A Director describes the Day 2 driver-based forecasting module as transforming their Q1 2026 forecast into the most accurate in five years — the outcome that most directly elevates FP&A professionals to Finance Director and CFO candidacy.
Tax Managers & Compliance Professionals
Accelerate UAE Corporate Tax computation, FTA documentation, VAT reconciliation, and ZATCA compliance workflows — and position yourself as the AI-enabled tax specialist that UAE organisations urgently need as their regulatory compliance burden increases. Day 4’s dedicated UAE tax AI module is the most UAE-specific element of any finance AI programme in the market — covering the Corporate Tax, VAT, and ZATCA tools that UAE tax professionals need rather than the generic tax AI examples built around US or UK tax environments.
Internal Auditors & Risk Professionals
Deploy AI audit analytics across 100% transaction populations, build continuous control monitoring frameworks, and develop the AI-assisted audit reporting capability that IIA global standards and UAE Central Bank expectations increasingly reflect. Day 3 covers AI in audit and risk comprehensively — from anomaly detection on GL data to CBUAE prudential compliance analytics — positioning UAE internal audit professionals for the Head of Internal Audit and Chief Risk Officer roles where AI audit capability is now a primary selection criterion.
How AI proficiency in finance accelerates careers at the most senior levels of UAE’s finance leadership market
The combination of deep technical finance expertise and comprehensive AI transformation capability that this five-day programme develops is genuinely scarce in UAE’s finance leadership market — and that scarcity is reflected in the compensation premiums and appointment quality available to finance professionals who develop it.
Group CFO / CFO
AED 45,000–100,000/mo — CFOs who lead visible, measurable AI transformation of their finance function — reducing close cycles, improving forecast accuracy, and building automated compliance frameworks — are differentiating themselves in UAE’s competitive finance leadership market and are being recognised with Board Audit Committee trust, private equity backing, and the most prestigious CFO appointments at UAE’s sovereign wealth funds, banking groups, and listed entities. The Day 5 capstone project is specifically designed to produce a board-ready finance AI transformation roadmap during the programme itself.
Finance Director / VP Finance
AED 30,000–60,000/mo — Finance directors who apply AI to transform their reporting, FP&A, and compliance functions are demonstrating the operational AI leadership that UAE boards and PE owners are seeking as they evaluate CFO succession. The progression from Finance Director to CFO in UAE’s 2026 market is most clearly accelerated by demonstrating AI finance transformation capability — the specific combination this programme develops across all five days, culminating in the capstone roadmap that Finance Directors present to their CFO or Board during their first quarter after completing the programme.
Financial Controller
AED 20,000–40,000/mo — Financial Controllers who reduce close cycle time, improve reporting quality, and build automated reconciliation frameworks are delivering the operational finance improvements most directly visible to their CFO and Board Audit Committee. The 3-day close cycle reduction described in the participant review — representing approximately AED 150,000–400,000 in annualised finance team productivity value for a mid-sized UAE group — is the kind of measurable, attributable improvement that advances Controllers to Finance Director roles at UAE organisations actively seeking finance leaders who deliver rather than maintain.
FP&A Manager / Director
AED 18,000–35,000/mo — FP&A professionals who apply AI to driver-based forecasting, scenario modelling, and Power BI dashboard development are producing management insights that consistently exceed what manual FP&A processes can deliver — transforming the finance function’s reputation with UAE leadership from a reporting service to a genuine strategic partner. The Day 2 driver-based forecasting and Power BI dashboard modules are the most immediately career-impactful elements of the programme for FP&A professionals, with the forecasting accuracy improvements and real-time visibility capabilities producing a directly visible impact on the CFO-FP&A relationship within the first planning cycle after training.
Tax Manager / Senior Tax Specialist
AED 15,000–28,000/mo — Tax managers who build UAE Corporate Tax AI capability — automating CT computation workflows, VAT reconciliation, and ZATCA compliance — are the most sought-after tax professionals in UAE’s 2026 market, where the combination of UAE CT technical expertise and AI automation capability is genuinely rare. As UAE’s FTA audit activity increases and ZATCA requirements expand, the tax professional who can demonstrate both deep UAE CT/VAT knowledge and AI-powered compliance automation capability is commanding significant premiums across UAE’s banking, real estate, and multinational corporate tax markets.
Internal Auditor / Risk Professional
AED 15,000–30,000/mo — Internal auditors who deploy AI analytics across 100% transaction populations and build continuous control monitoring frameworks are transforming the value proposition of their function — from periodic assurance to real-time risk intelligence. For UAE internal audit professionals at banks, government entities, and corporates where CBUAE and regulatory audit expectations are increasing, AI audit analytics capability is rapidly becoming a prerequisite for Head of Internal Audit appointments at the organisations where UAE’s most senior audit professionals aspire to work.
Every LTCS course is designed by Learning & Development professionals — for real outcomes
This is not a generic AI course adapted for finance. Every day was designed by L&D professionals and finance practitioners who understand exactly how UAE finance teams operate — the close cycle pressures, the FTA audit environment, the IFRS disclosure obligations, the CBUAE prudential reporting requirements, and the board governance standards that UAE finance leaders navigate. Participants leave with immediately deployable AI workflows for every finance discipline covered across all five days — from Day 1 close acceleration to Day 5 finance AI roadmap — not just awareness of what AI can theoretically do for finance.
UAE Finance Context Throughout — Corporate Tax, VAT, ZATCA, CBUAE, IFRS
Every practical exercise uses UAE finance contexts — UAE Corporate Tax computation using the June 2023 CT Law framework, VAT reconciliation using UAE FTA return formats, ZATCA FATOORAH e-invoicing compliance for KSA operations, IFRS financial statement disclosures relevant to UAE listed and regulated entities, and CBUAE prudential analytics for UAE financial institutions. Generic AI-for-finance courses are built on US GAAP or UK tax frameworks. This programme is built for UAE finance professionals from the ground up — the regulatory context is not an adaptation, it is the design foundation.
ERP Platform Coverage — SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365
Day 5’s finance AI technology landscape covers the AI features in the three ERP platforms most commonly deployed across UAE’s corporate and government-linked entities — SAP S/4HANA AI features, Oracle Fusion Finance AI capabilities, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance AI tools. The coverage is practical rather than vendor-promotional — LTCS provides an independent evaluation framework for assessing which ERP AI features deliver genuine finance value versus which represent marketing positioning, so participants leave with the capability to make informed technology investment recommendations to their CFOs and boards rather than being dependent on vendor claims.
The Day 5 Capstone — A Board-Ready Finance AI Roadmap, Not a Course Assessment
The Day 5 individual capstone project is designed to produce something genuinely useful — a personalised, board-ready AI transformation roadmap for your specific finance function — not a training exercise. Each participant develops their roadmap across the five days, integrating insights from every module into a 12-month finance AI transformation plan covering their actual close cycle, FP&A process, tax compliance workflow, and audit programme. Many participants present their capstone roadmap directly to their CFO or Audit Committee within the first month after completing the programme — having already built the stakeholder communication framework and ROI case during Day 5.
Five Days — The Right Duration for Comprehensive Finance AI Transformation
One-day or two-day finance AI courses produce tool awareness. Five days produces transformation capability. The depth that Day 1’s close automation builds into Day 2’s forecasting model, which connects to Day 3’s risk framework, which informs Day 4’s compliance architecture, which is synthesised in Day 5’s roadmap — is only achievable with the five-day format. The participant review from a UAE Manufacturing Group CFO specifically describes five days as “exactly the right duration” for achieving this integrated understanding. LTCS does not offer a shorter version of this programme — the five-day commitment is the design requirement for the outcome it delivers.
The AI tools covered in this five-day programme represent the most deployable finance AI capability available today — but the transformation of financial technology is accelerating rapidly. This is where AI in finance is heading for UAE organisations
Understanding the wider finance AI landscape gives UAE finance leaders the strategic context to build AI transformation programmes that remain relevant as the technology evolves. The Day 5 finance AI roadmap is designed with this trajectory in mind — giving participants a transformation framework that grows with the technology.
Agentic AI — Autonomous Finance Operations
How AI agents are moving beyond assisted finance tasks to autonomous finance operations — agents that monitor GL for anomalies and raise journal queries automatically, agents that detect VAT reconciling items and draft FTA correspondence without human initiation, and agents that monitor budget variance thresholds and generate management alerts. How UAE’s leading finance functions are evaluating and piloting agentic AI frameworks — and how the foundation of structured AI finance workflows built in this programme is the prerequisite for deploying agents effectively, since agents require well-designed human-AI collaboration frameworks to produce reliable finance outputs.
Real-Time Financial Close
How the finance industry’s ambition of a continuous or virtual close — replacing monthly batch processing with real-time financial position visibility — is becoming technically achievable through AI-powered ERP integration, automated reconciliation engines, and continuous journal monitoring. How UAE’s most advanced finance functions at listed entities, large banks, and sovereign investment vehicles are building towards real-time close capability — and how the Day 1 close automation skills provide the operational AI foundation that makes the transition from periodic to continuous close an iterative improvement rather than a full-system replacement.
AI in External Audit — Big 4 Deployment
How the Big 4 accounting firms are deploying AI audit tools — Deloitte’s Omnia, EY Canvas AI, PwC’s Aura, and KPMG Clara — across their UAE audit engagements, transforming how they sample, test, and document audit evidence. How UAE CFOs and Financial Controllers who understand AI audit tools are better positioned to manage their external audit relationships — understanding what the audit AI is looking for, anticipating the queries it generates, and preparing audit evidence packages that align with AI-powered audit workflows rather than the manual processes that most UAE audit preparation teams still assume. Day 3’s external audit support module specifically prepares UAE finance teams for this AI-enabled audit environment.
Predictive Finance & AI Early Warning
How predictive AI models — trained on historical financial data, macroeconomic indicators, and operational KPIs — are giving UAE finance functions early warning of cash flow stress, covenant breach risk, and performance deterioration weeks before they appear in management accounts. How UAE banks, real estate developers, and corporate groups with complex debt structures are deploying predictive finance models to give their treasury and FP&A teams the forward visibility that reactive monthly reporting cannot provide — and how the driver-based forecasting and Power BI capabilities from Day 2 provide the analytical foundation for adopting predictive finance tools as they mature.
UAE FTA AI & E-Government Tax Integration
How the UAE Federal Tax Authority’s digital transformation programme — including enhanced e-filing APIs, AI-powered compliance monitoring, and the expansion of UAE CT administrative processes — is creating an environment where finance teams that invest in AI tax automation now are significantly better positioned for the FTA’s increasingly digital audit and compliance interactions. How ZATCA’s FATOORAH e-invoicing Phase 2 integration requirements are driving Saudi-UAE multinationals to build AI tax infrastructure that handles both jurisdictions’ requirements in a unified compliance workflow — and how the Day 4 tax AI tools provide the starting point for that infrastructure build.
Generative AI for Finance Narrative & Board Reporting
How generative AI is transforming the most time-consuming element of senior finance work — the narrative. Board papers, investor presentations, management commentary, and audit committee reports that previously required days of senior finance team time are being drafted by AI from financial model outputs in minutes — with the finance professional’s role shifting from writing to reviewing, refining, and approving. How UAE CFOs and Finance Directors at listed and regulated entities are building structured AI narrative workflows that maintain the accuracy, tone, and regulatory precision required in UAE’s governance environment while eliminating the hours that narrative production consumed.
Finance Digital Twin
How finance digital twin technology — creating a real-time AI model of an organisation’s complete financial structure that can simulate regulatory changes, market scenarios, and strategic decisions — is giving UAE CFOs a capability that transforms financial planning from a periodic exercise to a continuous strategic tool. How UAE entities managing complex multi-jurisdiction structures across UAE, KSA, and international operations are evaluating finance digital twin platforms to model the financial impact of UAE CT restructuring options, transfer pricing changes, and capital allocation decisions before committing — and how the scenario modelling and AI forecasting skills from Day 2 provide the practical foundation for evaluating and deploying these tools.
AI Finance Governance — CBUAE, SCA & IFRS Implications
How UAE’s financial regulators — the Central Bank, Securities and Commodities Authority, and Insurance Authority — are developing guidance on AI use in financial reporting, audit, and compliance that finance leaders at regulated entities need to understand and anticipate. How the IASB is evaluating the implications of AI-generated financial disclosures for IFRS compliance — and how finance professionals who understand both the AI tools and the evolving regulatory framework are positioned to lead their organisations’ responses as UAE financial regulation increasingly incorporates AI governance requirements. Day 5’s finance AI governance module provides the regulatory intelligence foundation for navigating this evolving landscape.

Lifetime access post-graduationLearn in a global finance hub — for individual finance leaders and corporate finance teams across the UAE and GCC
Destination learning combines the five-day AI in Finance programme with exposure to how the world’s most sophisticated finance functions are deploying AI — expanding your professional network, your understanding of global finance AI best practice, and your access to the FinTech and finance technology ecosystem in markets where AI finance adoption is furthest advanced.
Singapore
One of Asia’s leading finance hubs — train alongside APAC finance leaders from Singapore’s banking, asset management, and corporate sectors. MAS-regulated Singapore’s finance AI adoption is among the most advanced in the region, with AI in financial reporting, risk analytics, and compliance automation well ahead of most markets. Ideal for UAE finance leaders building international networks and understanding how Asia’s most regulated financial centre is deploying AI within a demanding compliance environment directly comparable to UAE’s CBUAE framework.
London
The world’s most internationalised finance centre — train alongside UK CFOs and finance directors from banking, private equity, real estate, and professional services where finance AI adoption is among the most mature globally. Ideal for UAE finance leaders at organisations with UK or European operations and for CFOs and Finance Directors building the international network that characterises the most senior finance appointments in UAE’s globally connected corporate and financial services sectors.
Zurich / Switzerland
Global centre for finance technology, private banking AI, and financial risk management — ideal for UAE finance leaders at banks, investment management firms, and family offices who want exposure to how Switzerland’s fiduciary and private banking sector is deploying AI within the world’s most demanding confidentiality and compliance environment. Switzerland’s finance AI ecosystem leads globally in risk analytics, wealth management AI, and financial modelling — all directly relevant to UAE’s expanding private banking and family office sector.
Kuala Lumpur
Cost-effective destination programme alongside Southeast Asian finance professionals — excellent for UAE finance leaders at organisations with ASEAN operations and for finance managers building GCC-ASEAN networks. Malaysia’s Islamic finance ecosystem and Bank Negara regulatory environment produce finance AI challenges with direct parallels to UAE’s CBUAE-regulated financial services sector — and the proximity and cost-effectiveness make KL the most accessible international destination for UAE finance professionals at mid-market organisations.
Riyadh / Saudi Arabia
Ideal for UAE corporate groups with KSA operations — train cross-border finance teams together on AI tools aligned to both UAE Corporate Tax and ZATCA compliance frameworks, building a consistent AI-enabled finance operating model and shared close and reporting infrastructure across GCC-wide finance functions simultaneously. The Day 4 ZATCA module is particularly high-value for KSA-based finance team members attending the Riyadh delivery.
London / Europe
Senior finance team AI development in the world’s leading finance centre — ideal for UAE banking groups, real estate conglomerates, and investment firms with UK or European operations building internationally consistent AI finance capability. The London cohort’s exposure to how UK-listed and regulated finance functions are deploying AI within IFRS and FCA compliance environments provides directly applicable benchmark practice for UAE finance leaders managing comparable regulatory frameworks.

We design a fully bespoke destination AI in Finance programme for your senior finance team — any global finance hub, any format, with all five days structured around your organisation’s specific ERP platform, regulatory obligations, and the finance transformation priorities your CFO and Board have identified.

Why choose LTCS for AI in Finance & Accounting training in Dubai
CPD certified. UAE Corporate Tax, VAT, ZATCA, CBUAE, and IFRS context throughout all five days. ERP-specific — SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365. Individual Day 5 capstone project produces a board-ready finance AI roadmap. 60-day ROI follow-up included.
UAE Finance Context Throughout — Corporate Tax, VAT, ZATCA, CBUAE, IFRS
Every exercise uses UAE finance contexts — UAE Corporate Tax computation using the CT Law framework, VAT reconciliation using FTA formats, ZATCA FATOORAH compliance, CBUAE prudential analytics, and IFRS disclosures relevant to UAE entities. Generic AI-for-finance courses are built on US GAAP or UK tax frameworks. This programme is built for UAE finance professionals — the regulatory context is the design foundation, not a footnote.
Five Days — The Only Duration That Delivers Comprehensive Transformation
One-day or two-day finance AI courses produce tool awareness. Five days produces transformation capability — the integrated understanding that comes from Day 1’s close automation building into Day 2’s forecasting, connecting to Day 3’s risk framework, informing Day 4’s compliance architecture, and synthesising in Day 5’s board-ready roadmap. The participant review from a UAE Manufacturing CFO specifically validates five days as “exactly the right duration.” LTCS does not offer a truncated version of this programme.
ERP-Specific — SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365
Day 5’s finance AI technology landscape specifically covers AI features in the three ERP platforms most commonly deployed across UAE corporate and government entities — with an independent evaluation framework that helps CFOs and Finance Directors make informed technology investment recommendations rather than relying on vendor claims. For corporate delivery, all five days are structured around your organisation’s specific ERP environment — the most impactful format for immediate post-training implementation.
The Day 5 Capstone — A Board-Ready Finance AI Roadmap
The individual capstone project is designed to produce something immediately useful — a personalised, board-ready AI transformation roadmap for your specific finance function, developed across all five days and presented in Day 5. Many participants present their capstone directly to their CFO or Board Audit Committee within the first month after completing the programme. This is the clearest measure of the programme’s practical design — it produces a deliverable, not a certificate.
AI in Finance & Accounting — CPD-Certified Completion Certificate & Course Details
On successful completion of the five-day programme and individual capstone project, participants receive a CPD-certified LTCS completion certificate — recognised by UAE finance employers, boards, and audit committees as evidence of comprehensive AI finance training covering the full financial function from automated close through FP&A, audit analytics, UAE Corporate Tax, and treasury to finance AI strategy and governance.
LTCS CPD-Certified Completion Certificate
Issued on successful completion of all five days and the individual capstone project — CPD-certified and recognised by UAE finance employers, CFOs, and Audit Committees as evidence of comprehensive AI finance training covering automated close, AI-powered FP&A, audit analytics, UAE Corporate Tax and VAT automation, treasury AI, and finance AI governance. Immediately addable to LinkedIn, CV, and ACCA/CMA/CIMA CPD records.
Individual AI in Finance Capstone Roadmap
Your personalised, board-ready AI finance transformation roadmap — developed across all five days and presented in the Day 5 capstone session. Covers your specific close cycle, FP&A process, UAE CT and VAT structure, audit programme, and treasury workflows, mapped to a 12-month implementation timeline with resource requirements, technology options, and ROI projections structured for presentation to your CFO, Board Audit Committee, or finance leadership team. Many participants present this directly within their first month after the programme.
Finance AI Toolkit — Tools, Templates & UAE Compliance Guides
A structured toolkit including the AI finance tools covered across all five days, Excel Copilot formula and prompt references for common finance tasks, Power BI finance dashboard template, Python for Finance starter code for financial data analysis, UAE Corporate Tax AI workflow guide, VAT reconciliation AI checklist, and the finance AI governance framework developed in Day 5 — structured for immediate deployment across every finance workflow covered in the programme.
AI Finance Career & Capability Development Plan
A personalised AI career development plan — developed with your career consultant mapping how completion of the five-day AI in Finance programme positions you for advancement toward CFO, Finance Director, and FP&A Director roles in UAE, the specific next LTCS courses that will most accelerate your AI finance capability (AI-Powered Financial Modelling with Python for deeper analytics, or Copilot Studio for building AI-powered financial reporting assistants), and how your capstone roadmap can be positioned as a career advancement signal to your existing employer or prospective hiring organisations.
What our AI in Finance & Accounting participants say
“Five days was exactly the right duration — the depth of coverage across reporting, FP&A, audit, tax, and strategy was something I could not have assembled from individual one-day workshops. The integration across all five days — seeing how close automation connects to forecasting, which connects to audit risk, which connects to tax compliance — is only visible at the five-day level. Day 4 on UAE Corporate Tax was the most immediately valuable day: we identified three areas where AI could materially reduce our UAE CT compliance risk and documentation burden. The Day 5 roadmap I presented to my Board within 4 weeks of completing the programme.”
“The month-end close acceleration on Day 1 has been transformative. We have reduced our close cycle by 3 days using Excel Copilot for variance analysis and AI-assisted narrative drafting — freeing my team to focus on analysis and stakeholder management rather than data processing. The ROI on the five-day investment was evident within the first close cycle after the course. The IFRS disclosure drafting module was also immediately applicable — our external auditors commented positively on the improved quality of our note disclosures this year.”
“The driver-based forecasting module on Day 2 gave me a completely new approach to our planning process. Using AI to identify the key business drivers that actually predict our revenue — rather than extrapolating from historical trends — has transformed our forecast accuracy. Our Q1 2026 forecast was the most accurate we have produced in five years. The Power BI + Copilot dashboard built during Day 2 is now used by our Group CEO as his primary financial performance view. The programme delivered tangible, measurable outcomes well beyond what I anticipated from a five-day course.”
