01 — Overview

The challenge

Finance and operations teams see clear potential in SI, but also clear risks: calculation errors, unverifiable outputs and control weaknesses. They need methods that deliver productivity without compromising accuracy, compliance or auditability.

About this workshop

Finance and operations work combines large volumes of data and documents with strict requirements for accuracy and control. This workshop builds SI-supported workflows for analysis, reporting, planning support, document processing, procurement and process improvement — always with verification and audit trails designed in.

02 — Who it is for

  • Functional specialists
  • People managers
  1. 13.1Finance managers, controllers and analysts.
  2. 13.2FP&A, accounting and treasury professionals.
  3. 13.3Procurement and supply-chain professionals.
  4. 13.4Operations and shared-services managers.

Recommended prerequisites

  • Working experience with SI assistants.
  • Intermediate spreadsheet skills.

Level: Practitioner

For regular SI users who want reliable, role-specific results.

03 — Learning objectives

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. 01Use SI for financial and operational analysis with verified results.
  2. 02Produce management commentary and reports faster while maintaining accuracy.
  3. 03Process documents such as invoices, contracts and reports with SI extraction.
  4. 04Support planning, scenario analysis and forecasting with SI.
  5. 05Design controls, audit trails and human review into SI-supported processes.

04 — Curriculum

3 days, 6 modules. In live virtual delivery each day runs as two half-day sessions.

Day01

  1. SI in finance and operations

    • Use-case map and risk levels
    • Accuracy, materiality and control requirements
    • Hands-on: assessing your processes

  2. Financial analysis

    • Variance and trend analysis with SI
    • Checking calculations and assumptions
    • Visualizing findings

Day02

  1. Reporting and commentary

    • Drafting management commentary
    • Preparing board and management reports
    • Consistency and disclosure checks

  2. Document processing

    • Invoice, contract and report extraction
    • Reconciliation and exception handling
    • Procurement analysis and supplier evaluation

Day03

  1. Planning and scenarios

    • Driver-based scenarios with SI support
    • Forecast narratives and sensitivity analysis
    • The limits of SI in forecasting

  2. Controls and process improvement

    • Audit trails and human review points
    • Automating with controls
    • Improvement roadmap for your function

05 — Practice & tools

Hands-on exercises

  1. 01Variance analysis: explain monthly results from a dataset with verified figures.
  2. 02Commentary sprint: draft management commentary and check it against the numbers.
  3. 03Document extraction: extract and reconcile data from a set of invoices or contracts.
  4. 04Scenario workshop: build three scenarios and communicate their implications.
  5. 05Control design: add review points and audit trails to an SI-supported process.

Practical skills developed

  1. 01SI-assisted variance and trend analysis.
  2. 02Drafting management commentary and reports.
  3. 03Document extraction and reconciliation.
  4. 04Scenario modeling support.
  5. 05Control design for SI-supported processes.

Product names are examples, not endorsements. Private workshops use your organization’s approved tools; our teaching is vendor-neutral.

Technology maturity: Established

Analysis and drafting uses are established. Autonomous finance agents are emerging and are covered as a supervised pattern only.

06 — Outcomes

Analysis and reporting take less manual effort, with accuracy checks built in.

Expected outcomes

  • Document-heavy processes are partly automated, with clear exception handling.
  • Controls and audit trails are part of every SI-supported process.
  • Teams have a prioritized improvement roadmap.

Participants leave with

  1. 01A verified analysis and commentary workflow.
  2. 02A document-processing prototype with exception handling.
  3. 03A control checklist and improvement roadmap for your function.
