Universities: unlocking innovation through the finance function

Universities are where innovation begins. They produce research that moves us forward scientifically, technologically and socially. Some of our best and brightest reside within their walls.

How AI and machine learning can benefit finance teams

Finance teams are integral and essential to the smooth running of any business. It’s no longer as simple as responsibility over regulatory compliance, financial reporting, payroll, and public interest – but so much more.
