À propos de ce Spécialisation
Projet d'apprentissage appliqué
Projects included in this specialization allow learners to apply the skills developed within the data analytics specialization to real-world problems. Learners will be able to articulate the general process of the CRISP-DM framework, demonstrate data analytics skills in data preparation, data visualization, modeling, and model evaluation, and apply data analytics knowledge and skills to real-world problems. For example, in the capstone project, learners will develop a machine learning model in order to predict whether a loan is to be fully paid and construct a loan portfolio with the help of the analysis.
Programming background would be a plus, but not mandatory.

Introduction to Accounting Data Analytics and Visualization
Accounting has always been about analytical thinking. From the earliest days of the profession, Luca Pacioli emphasized the importance of math and order for analyzing business transactions. The skillset that accountants have needed to perform math and to keep order has evolved from pencil and paper, to typewriters and calculators, then to spreadsheets and accounting software. A new skillset that is becoming more important for nearly every aspect of business is that of big data analytics: analyzing large amounts of data to find actionable insights. This course is designed to help accounting students develop an analytical mindset and prepare them to use data analytic programming languages like Python and R.
Accounting Data Analytics with Python
This course focuses on developing Python skills for assembling business data. It will cover some of the same material from Introduction to Accounting Data Analytics and Visualization, but in a more general purpose programming environment (Jupyter Notebook for Python), rather than in Excel and the Visual Basic Editor. These concepts are taught within the context of one or more accounting data domains (e.g., financial statement data from EDGAR, stock data, loan data, point-of-sale data).
Machine Learning for Accounting with Python
This course, Machine Learning for Accounting with Python, introduces machine learning algorithms (models) and their applications in accounting problems. It covers classification, regression, clustering, text analysis, time series analysis. It also discusses model evaluation and model optimization. This course provides an entry point for students to be able to apply proper machine learning models on business related datasets with Python to solve various problems.
Data Analytics in Accounting Capstone
This capstone is the last course in the Data Analytics in Accountancy Specialization. In this capstone course, you are going to take the knowledge and skills you have acquired from the previous courses and apply them to a real-world problem.
