In the age of AI, media practitioners must be equipped to interpret dynamic data and communicate it in ways that empower society.”
The primary objective of the training, according to the company, is to equip media practitioners with a practical understanding of how artificial intelligence tools are reshaping financial reporting and analysis.
DataPro also organises the International Credit Rating Webinar annually every October as part of its continued efforts to promote the rating industry and deepen stakeholder engagement.
The agency is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
