Course Details

As digital assets like Bitcoin and stablecoins become more common on corporate balance sheets, the sheer volume of data can be overwhelming for traditional accounting methods. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is moving from a "futuristic concept" to a practical tool that can help accountants manage these new assets. This course provides a plain-English introduction to how AI and digital assets work together. We will explore how AI helps you track transactions, ensure tax compliance, and identify risks without needing to be a computer scientist.

 

Alan Sellers covers the following topics during this course:

  • Demystifying the Tech: A simple explanation of why AI is the "brain" and Digital Assets (Crypto) are the "data" in the modern finance office.
  • Automating the Audit Trail: How AI tools can "read" blockchain data to perform instant reconciliations that would take humans days.
  • Tax Compliance & CARF: Understanding the new 2026 reporting requirements (CARF) and how AI simplifies the reporting of gains and losses.
  • Spotting Red Flags: Using AI to detect suspicious patterns or "fraudulent" digital assets before they impact the business.
  • The "Human in the Loop": Why professional judgment remains the most important part of using AI in accounting.
