It is heartening to see LUMS taking the initiative to offer the MS Accounting & Analytics programme, which is equally suited for both accounting and finance professionals and non-accountants who intend to learn to exploit the power of data using analytics. It will help fill the critical gap in a large number of organisations where loads of data are collected deploying various technology tools but not optimally utilised to generate insights about the past, current, and future. This programme will also bring academia closer to the industry.
