TRUEUP'S INNOVATION CHALLENGE
RACE THE AI
FOR ACCOUNTING STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS
Join the challenge where accounting students and professionals get hands-on experience using the latest AI tools to complete financial accounting tasks and find out how artificial intelligence is impacting the accounting profession.
SAVE OUR FINANCIAL FUTURE!
It is now the year 2050 and the global economy is on the brink of financial collapse because something has gone awry at FastLedgerAI, the world’s largest AI vendor that supplies 70% of all businesses with their accounting AI models and products that automate accounting and financial reporting. Now after decades of relying on AI, these companies cannot afford for these models to fail.
It’s up to you to go back in time and join FastLedgerAI’s development team responsible for creating AI models that automate accounting and financial reporting. Your mission: catch any issues before they launch!
​
Be diligent and on your game because you’re up against time! If you do not uncover and correct the issues in time, FastLedgerAI will release their AI models to the market and adoption will happen so quickly we won't be able to stop them. Through TrueUp games and learning resources, you can do it!
