  4. Conclusion and Final Assessment: Reviews all lessons learned and culminates in a final assessment

IMA vice president – education and career services – Debbie Warner said: “The foundational knowledge and tools this course provides are critical to finance professionals and will better equip them in an environment where technology continues to disrupt and transform entire industries.”
