New programme addresses the growing skills gap in AI, cross-border finance, and cybersecurity for finance professionals
SINGAPORE, [18TH AUGUST 2026] — Kingston International College Pte Ltd (“Kingston”), a SkillsFuture-licensed, EduTrust 4-Year Certified private education institution, today announced a training partnership with M-DAQ Global Pte Ltd (“M-DAQ”) to help finance professionals build capabilities in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and international finance.
Finance teams today are under growing pressure to adapt. AI is reshaping how financial reporting, forecasting, and decision-making are done, cross-border transactions are becoming more complex as businesses expand regionally, and cybersecurity and fraud risks continue to rise. Yet many finance professionals have had limited structured opportunities to build these capabilities alongside their day-to-day responsibilities, leaving a widening gap between the skills the role now demands and the training available to meet it.
This partnership is designed to close that gap. Kingston will design and deliver a structured training programme tailored to CFOs, finance directors, finance managers, accountants, and business owners, covering practical applications of AI in finance, cross-border payments and FX, financial reporting and compliance, cybersecurity and fraud prevention, and cash flow and treasury management.
By combining Kingston’s curriculum design and training delivery with M-DAQ’s network and reach, the partnership aims to make relevant, practitioner-led upskilling more accessible at the point where it is needed most: within the finance function itself.
The programme is expected to run in successive intakes, with interested finance professionals able to register their interest through Kingston and M-DAQ’s respective channels.
