Synopsis

Accounting and finance students with a keen interest in applying artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools in research often encounter a challenge: the need to enroll in separate programming courses that operate independently from their core curriculum. This creates an educational void, compelling our students to juggle the amalgamation of these two disciplines. This book addresses this gap by equipping students with the necessary skills to integrate applied AI with domain-specific data and knowledge in the fields of accounting and finance.

Unlike conventional approaches that commence with programming training, this begins by acquainting students with domain data, textual features, and use cases associated with these data. Relevant emerging technologies are then introduced along with use cases. Upon completing the book, students could be expected to apply AI and machine learning tools to generate and analyze unstructured financial data, such as conference call transcripts, press releases, annual reports, ESG, or other social media disclosures, product/operational images, and fund managers' disclosures. To enhance the learning experience, the book is complemented by a video library, featuring educational videos corresponding to each chapter, including tutorials on how to use the GPT API.

The book offers two flexible learning approaches. Firstly, it can serve as foundational material for the equivalent of a business school graduate-level course, emphasizing the data-driven nature of these disciplines. Secondly, for instructors teaching traditional courses such as financial accounting or corporate finance, relevant chapters (e.g., the chapter on annual report) can function as supplementary material. Prerequisite coding requirements are minimized for both instructors and students throughout the book. Even in instances where coding is necessary, tutorial videos and exercises facilitate a nuanced understanding of coding workflows. Upon finishing this book, students should have a clear picture of diverse use cases of AI tools in the fields of accounting and finance. The materials in this book could also serve as preparation for students to pursue more technical courses.
