Prince Mohammed bin Salman College of Business and Entrepreneurship, the Kingdom’s world-class business school, participated in the Accounting Technologies Conference in Riyadh from Oct. 16 to 19. Organized by the Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants, the event was held under the patronage of the Minister of Commerce and Chair of the Board of Directors of SOCPA Dr. Majid A. Alkassabi.
Dr. Larissa Von Alberti, vice dean of programs and faculty and professor of accounting at MBSC, shared her expertise in a panel discussion titled “Uses of modern technologies and AI in analyzing accounting and financial data.” Furthermore, Dr. Khaldoon Al-Htaybat, professor of accounting at MBSC, hosted a workshop dedicated to the topic of “Analyzing financial data using artificial intelligence tools.”
As a pioneering business and entrepreneurship college in the Kingdom and the wider region, MBSC emphasized the value of integrating modern technologies such as AI into the educational experience, along with the crucial need for the sustainable development of universities to keep up with change.
Dr. Zeger Degraeve, dean of MBSC, said: “The SOCPA Accounting Technologies Conference 2024 established a space for experts, scientists, and academics in accounting, finance, and technology to network, exchange insights, and advance the understanding of their respective disciplines. MBSC provides students and alumni with a holistic learning experience that equips them with cutting-edge tools and hones their skills to become leaders and agents of change. Such an approach is imperative not only for addressing the challenges of accounting in the context of the modern experience economy, but also for achieving the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to secure the Kingdom’s prosperous future.”
Situated in King Abdullah Economic City, a contemporary urban center that provides an unparalleled modern environment for both students and faculty, MBSC offers world-class education “from Saudi Arabia for Saudi Arabia” in both KAEC and Riyadh, delivering practical, pragmatic, hands-on experiential learning to develop a new generation of transformative leaders.
