Important: not professional advice
This course teaches how to use AI tools in accounting and finance work; it is not financial, tax, or accounting advice and does not substitute for advice from a qualified accountant or financial professional. The certificate confirms lesson completion and a passed exam only — it does not confer a professional accounting or audit qualification, licence, or recognition by any accountancy body or financial regulator.
