ICMA International is set to host an online workshop focused on the use of Artificial Intelligence and Python in financial workflows, as part of its AI Super Users Workshop Series: Virtual Office Hours 2026. The session, titled “Run Python in Google Colab Without Prior Coding Knowledge,” will introduce participants to the use of Gemini AI and Python for financial tasks without requiring previous coding experience. The workshop is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2026, and will be conducted online through Zoom, giving accounting and finance professionals an opportunity to explore technology based approaches to routine financial activities.
The session will focus on how Gemini AI and Python can be applied to different stages of financial workflow management. According to ICMA International, participants will learn how these tools can be used for tasks ranging from cleaning trial balances to creating forecasts, dashboards, and automated reports. Google Colab will also form part of the session, with the workshop designed to introduce participants to running Python in a cloud based environment. The focus on accessibility means the session is intended for participants who may not have prior programming experience but want to understand how coding and Artificial Intelligence tools can be applied to financial operations.
Dr. Muhammad Imran Bhatti, Fellow of the Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Pakistan (FCMA) and Chairman of the United States of America Branch Council, will lead the session. The workshop will take place at different times for participants in various regions, with proceedings scheduled for 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, 7:00 PM Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Standard Time, and 9:00 PM Pakistan Standard Time. The online format will allow participants from different locations to attend the session without requiring physical participation. The program is positioned around the practical use of Artificial Intelligence and programming tools within finance rather than requiring attendees to have an established technical background.
The workshop reflects the growing use of Artificial Intelligence and automation tools in accounting and corporate finance workflows, where professionals increasingly have access to technologies that can assist with data processing, forecasting, reporting, and analysis. By combining Gemini AI with Python and Google Colab, the session aims to demonstrate how finance professionals can incorporate technology into routine tasks and explore automated approaches to financial work. ICMA International has invited interested participants to register for the September 12 session through its online registration link, with the workshop forming part of its wider AI Super Users Workshop Series and professional development activities.
